This album kicks so much ass its feet permanently smell of fart. It's funky, catchy, poppy, rough, crude (at times), insightful, and many other adjectives. I can't believe I slept on this album for so long.

It's a bit of a kick in the gut that album. Very good stuff, although I still have Vanishing Point down as my favourite Primal Scream effort.

Everything But the Girl - Idlewild

No, not Idlewild the mediocre Edinburgh indie bunch, but Idlewild the warmingly-laid back, dreamy pop album from the duo who'd go on to have one of the most successful changes in musical direction that I can think of. Tracey Thorn's voice =

There's a bit a lull in the middle of it, but otherwise it's cool.

One day, I got a rather unexpected PM from SATCHMO recommending me this album. I finally got around to listening to it, and I think I should have heard this a long time ago.
I used to have infinite dislike for jazz, but now I realize that was rather ignorant. This album is superb.

You're god-fu‎cking-damn-right it was.

Earth 2 wasn't very good but this is bloody great.

From introspective and soothing to quite fun and everything in between.

Glad to hear you liked it! That was one of my first jazz albums too. Considering your love of IDM and post-rock, I bet there's a lot of jazz out there that you'd really like.

Joy Division were one of the very best Post Punk bands who influenced a whole slew of bands and rightfully so but I also think that this album with with it's emphasis on riffs and structure is just as important an album in influencing bands whilst still being very listenable:

Damn straight! I really wish Killing Joke was talked about more on here, I even made a Beginner's Guide to them last year but don't think I received any feedback on them. Their new CD is one of the only releases I've been looking forward to as of late because even if it's half as good as Hosannas from the Basement of Hell it will still be an enjoyable way to spend an hour of my time.
