Kyuss Blues for the Red Sun
This album is eternal to me when it's in my car. Everything about this album is fucking awesome. The guitars, the jam sessions (evident throughout the album), and lyrical content make this album so enjoyable. I enjoy Kyuss much more then Queens of The Stone Age, all of Kyuss' albums are amazing in their own right. Blues For The Red Sun is no exception to this rule.

Loess Wind and Water
While the style of spacious, slowly paced, cold electronic wasn't bad by any means, in fact it was excellent, Loess still attempt to improve in that department. Wind and Water progressed the sound by adding more textures and sounds while the music progresses, quickly incorporating those very sounds while seemingly evolving and entrapping themselves within each track. Wind and Water remains to be a superior album to their debut, but not by much considering it was the logical step from their previous record.

Tim Hecker Harmony in Ultraviolet
Tim Hecker's "Harmony In Ultraviolet" is atmospheric and eventful. The long drones and spacious sequences within every track remind the listener of Eluvium's "Copia" with more roughness and grit. Not only is "Harmony In Ultraviolet" great it gets better every listen; this truly is Hecker's greatest achievement thus far.

Laika Wherever I Am I Am What Is Missing
Laika's most mature release in a lyrical and production sense. Both members are on top of their trip-hop games, but mostly the album exudes lush brilliance of sound. Masterly creating a strong trip-hop presence all around without missing a beat, Laika's Wherever I Am I Am What Is Missing would seem to be their best work to date. It neither feels a bit vintage as Silver Apples of the Moon or hampered with boredom like Sounds of the Satellites had.
Lamb Between Darkness And Wonder
The Trip-Hop group hailing from Manchester have made a few transformations in their sound since they first broke in the spotlight. Yet there are always those constant ---passionate vocals, fantastic fusion of musical elements with an excellent production, but Between Darkness and Wonder teeters on some over ambition - sounding extremely mannered, mixing tons of different aspects of their music in one. An excellent painting of their work, it shows that first and foremost their musical ambitions are spot on, but Lou Rhodes' (female lead singer) for half the time overempowers some of the melodies, electronic synths, and masterful drum and bass backgrounds. While she is by no means band or any different, the production seems to keep her ahead of the overall musicianship of the group, which somewhat deters the sound. Either way it simply put their best work. Musically they've become a whole unit and they just need more time to truly find their niche - balancing both musicianship and vocal work.

Live Secret Samadhi
A very underrated album produced by a air friendly effort before called Throwing Copper, an immensely successful album both on radioplay and music videos. This album is much darker then previous and future efforts and to me this is my favorite Live album in their collection, right ahead of Throwing Copper. Very underrated and unappreciated because of lack of support on the radio, unlike Throwing Copper, this album is not at all radio friendly.

Plaster First Aid Kit
A melting pot of electronic waves, idm break beats, jazz with hints of swing-time in one heaping pile of consistency. Plaster's First Aid Kit may seem to be like the basic barebone electronic album at first, but as time goes on it progresses to new heights. Not only does Plaster's 2005 effort show their patience with their music, but their malleability and sheer ease to mix all of these elements into one, as "Erectus" and "Orgie" show you without hesitation. What started as pure curiosity and boredom at the beginning, turned out to be a highly underrated band with the pieces and elements to soar any expectation.
Polar Bear Polar Bear
Polar Bear increase their experimental tendencies and rely on more of a ambient/electronic flurry throughout every track. This works exceptionally well and it kept me listening 'til the end.

The heavily tragic movie and dark comedic atmosphere throughout the movie is carried by a great soundtrack that mixes garage rock, folk, opera, and most importantly the fantastic piano / violin driven song. As the movie goes along the variations are suddle for the theme song, but is still refreshing and fantastic.

Joy Division Still
The problem with Still is easily categorized. The beginning of the album starts off on a few bumps as it doesn't quite get its feet set until "The Only Mistake" is played, from there on Still manages to keep topping itself. The tough introduction to the album bogs the album down as a whole, but the rest of the material is usually more hit then miss. From rare outtakes and live recordings Still shows some forgotten material still left. Included in this solid collection of Joy Division material is "Isolation" and "Decades" to name a few. Some tracks do feel boring or uninspired "Sound of Music, "Glass", and "Sister Ray". Still remains to be in close similarity with New Order's early work as a band and only start depart a couple of years from their first album, showing that the band can still captivate without Curtis at the helm. Sadly, with his death their status was cemented as it was only started growing; with the demise of Joy Division comes New Order from its ashes.

Massive Attack 100th Window
Though it's evident the holes that the missing members create, still Massive Attack pulls off an amazing follow-up to mega classic album Mezzanine. This to me, was very close and surprising that it was enjoyable after listening to Mezzanine (very high expectations). Songs like Special Cases,
Name Taken, Butterfly Caught, and Antistar are a continuation of the predecessor album in a way.

Mathias Grassow Namakar
The equivalent in sound and atmosphere to Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works, Vol II. While not nearly as entrancing or pulsating in repetition, Namaker succeeds in creating a long-standing haunting sound that doesn't stop with drawn out drones and sometimes serene moments like in "Abahtima".

Robert Rich Somnium
This is practically impossible to listen in one sitting. The 7 hour opus is Rich's version of a dream. Somnium translated from Latin literally means "dream", which is why the concept of this album needs to be touched on. The sounds of water droplets, storm showers, waves of water all signal calmness and peace. While the album itself is overbearing in its track time, its vision may be its greatest strength.

Squarepusher really pushes his limits by using a wide variety of instruments. Despite this type of approach the classic Jenkinson is still here after all with the brooding "Planetarium" to back it up. 'Hello Everything' would seem to be the next evolution for Squarepusher; I wonder if 'Just A Souvenir' expands on this.

Tarentel We Move Through Weather
Adding a more dynamic feel all around this entire LP, Tarentel manage to find their niche within their music. Massive amounts of drone and noise with slow burning post-rock movements. Despite the repetitiveness within the music the album stand up on its own well. "Bump Past, Cut Up Through Windows" is the best track up to that point it is heard in the album. Drumming repetition with a hint of variance, not only is it worthy of a listen the violin interludes and background noises are fantastic. So it would seem Tarentel have fixed their glaring problem: the lack of stability within their music. 'We Move Through Weather' isn't astonishing, but only a progressive foot forward within the band's discography.

Zebulon Pike II - The Deafening Twilight
I myself am not fan of progressive instrumental dark metal, the difference between this album and my tastes in music is this keeps me keenly interested throughout the album. The first track doesn't seem anything special, but as Zebulon Pike introduce each track they construct a cohesiveness and this holds the album together very well. Each track is better than its predecessor which is quite good. Though this album can get tiresome due to the length of the tracks; I was entirely expecting this...so before you judge this album by it's 'lack of energy' or 'length' look at the direction and you'll see "The Deafening Twilight" is worth a listen.

Amorphous Androgynous Peppermint Tree and Seeds of Superconsciousness
What may be truly frustrating is the type of style Amorphous Androgynous take on has yet to develop into anything truly substaintial to warrant attention. The Isness and also Alice In Ultraland both were solid outings, more so for The Isness, but why should we care anymore? I understand the soft-toned psychedelic forms are still there, but whats the point? The incorporation of vocals had worked wonders in their last album, but we barely see any of that in Peppermint Tree and Seeds of Superconsciousness. "Tiny Space Birds" is the hyped up stage of psychedelic embracing I've been looking for, but a little too late. The same goes for "Rocket Fuel", except this time allowing fantastic lead vocals to resonate through. So my question really is: Will Amorphous Androgynous progress their sound or will they steadily decline into boredom?

Hans Zimmer Gladiator (Soundtrack)
I find Zimmer very overrated as a composer. He has made some fantastic epic songs in his career, but as a whole his soundtracks don't carry enough substance and transitions that we strive for. The Gladiator OST has the same exact dilemma, it carries amazing epic songs, but as a whole the album falls. "The Battle" is completely exciting, each movement is fantastic and the end result is a massive success. There are others as the soundoff below had suggested at the end of the album, more importantly the closer is a great way to end the album.

James Horner Glory
Somber in tone throughout, as it should be. Horner's Glory soundtrack is extremely slow to moving, yet it's charm is presented in the latter half of the album. Once "Burning The Town of Darien" is started, Glory because a more entrenching experience. The closer is quite excellent. Worth a listen, but a mediocre and dull first half.

Luke Vibert Lover's Acid
Luke Vibert Chicago, Detroit, Redruth
A true pioneer in the world of ambient material intertwining with trip-hop, Luke Vibert (among other aliases) was most important with his progressive approaches within the name of Wagon Christ. Under his own name it isn't necessarily progressive as he once was. The beats are extremely groove oriented and synth-laden. "ComfyCozy" and "Clikilik" show his strength within the music he produces, but others such as "Breakbeat Metal Music" and "God" unequivocally show his natural weakness with poor, boring, and useless repetitious samples that are supposed to drive the song. This effect doesn't work at all as it was desired to be leaving a good time of the album in limbo. Some tracks are essentially addictive immediately such as precarious "Rotting Flesh Bags", which uses a simple drum break, eerie keyboard harmonies and noises with a hand-clappin' good time. Chicago, Detroit, Redruth is a step forward from Lover's Acid even if its marginally worth noting...

Nirvana Bleach
Though production hinders Nirvana's true sound when they first created this album, they still show promise and glimpses of their future. That is, being Cobain's lyrical talents. Unlike their future albums Nirvana's Bleach album is literally raw and open for any listener. The production value as bad as it is does show how excellent Nirvana can be without a clean, shiny production finish as they did in Nevermind.

PJ Harvey Uh Huh Her
A more stripped down Polly Jean Harvey is brought forward from her more forceful, grungy material that had evoked so much emotional prowess. Uh Huh Her may still have the same bite and remorse for past relationships, but it still doesn't showcase as well as her previous material. Instrumentally it feels like a letdown; its understandable that Harvey would go in this direction, after all, she never has to this extreme. It comes off as a bit clunky and slow-paced for most people, thus those problems flesh out by the middle of the album with the lyrcism screaming for a hard-edged sound, instead it is accompanied by a subdued, almost lifeless background.

Tricky Knowle West Boy
Tricky wasn't lying when he told many people that this album would reflect his entire career. It most certainly does; it doesn't disappoint either. It is obvious Tricky has toned down on his main vocal singings as he has many guest spots. The guests enhance the album with Tricky either backing vocals or duetting with one of them. Surprisingly 'Knowle West Boy' is one of Tricky's most consistent, solid albums he has produced. There are all types of genres spanned on this so it is quite unfair to call it a trip-hop album. From hip-hop, rock, and even punk Tricky somehow holds this album together with all these genres spewing within. The female vocals are amazing and are perfect with Tricky's voice. Although some of the songs do take a step backwards such as 'Coalition' or 'Veronika' this doesn't necessarily destroy the album because it is solid through and through. Great effort by Tricky; I wasn't sure what to expect when he made such a claim, but I am happy with the result.

I may be tiring at my young age of 21, but it seems Aaron Funk wants to pound my head in with hard lashes of breakcore, until my face melts and I have no remembrance of anything in the past 24 hours. Filth is that brutal, it just doesn't stop - its the equivalent of a massive heart attack served breakcore style. Can't say I enjoyed it, but I can't say it wasn't worthwhile either.

Acrnym Flowers
Acrnym's 'Flowers' is truly break-core, IDM, and electronic with no holds barred. The album starts with IDM beats such as 'Kate Says Aye' and 'Repeat', but soon afterwards truly punishes you with the break-core of 'Wrxzwrxzwrxz', 'A 1980s Fetish', and 'Of Corset Horse'. 'Of Corset Horse' is truly mind-numbing and my mind couldn't take it as it started giving me headaches. The perfect antidote to this was definitely the tracks afterwards. Tracks like 'Outbox', 'Knife', and ' ' bring the tempo down whether it be from a basic IDM beat or soothing electronic vibe Acrnym knows how to soothe the listener when it is right. This album truly is a difficult listen. The second half of the album after 'Of Corset Horse' is done amazingly well.

Very inconsistent; although there are some good spots the lack of direction and odd samples really destroys the album. Buck 65 does have some lyrical talent as he shows it in this album (many tracks about baseball). I wouldn't recommend this as an album to start Buck 65 with.

Colour Haze Chopping Machine
Its interesting to see where a group comes from after listening to their more recent material. Sure the instrumentation is essentially here, that's what makes Colour Haze so good, but the fact the vocals are practically all over the place and are by far the worse thing about Chopping Machine doesn't help one bit. Their later material would finally find them perfecting that art, thankfully. Pass this up, but if you're into Colour Haze it isn't bad to see how far they've come.

Four Tet Everything Ecstatic
Four Tet's illustrious consistency on his electronic records envelope a playful and seething quality within all of them. Much like Rounds, Everything Ecstatic fails to topple Pause or his debut Dialogue. While Everything Ecstatic, unlike its previous album may have shorter sequences and track times it still is plagued by the album's lack of flow. While Rounds was stretched to oblivion on some songs, Everything Ecstatic fails to make a connection with the listener on some songs, which is why it fails to make a great impression. There are a few tracks that do hook you in: "Smile Around The Face", "High Five", and "You Were There With Me" do for a good portion of them, much to the same affect of previous songs by Four Tet like "My Angel Moves Back And Forth", "No More Mosquitoes", and "Parks". These tracks attach themselves to your psyche while the others bring a convulsed and random feeling throughout. Four Tet's new style of mashing tiny drum breaks with abrasive background electronic doesn't entirely work on his recent works, hopefully he'll decide to ditch it.

This may be overly harsh or unwarrented, but Groove Armada's debut is every sense as a groove-tastic affair with funk rhythmns and noticeable house influence. Unfortuntely it goes on and on...and on, 'til the point it becomes redundant and purely repetitive. This album plays like a marathon that never ends, luckily I got that stop button....right...he---

It may be the problems of not breaking through the daily grind of Vibert's work that may be the issue in Rhythm. It feels smoother then his previous stuff under this moniker, but do we really care? I'm not sure if I can stomach another 50 minute session of sample driven stuff that isn't quite exhilarating or to put it bluntly shitty in any way. Hell, we even see the robotic voice from Chicago, Detroit, Redruth make another glorious and unwelcome appearance on "Rhythm", able to make most cringe as of why he needed to even put the damn voice in the song.

Michael Nyman Gattaca
If you enjoyed the accompanying score to this fantastic film, then you will enjoy this. The problem with the soundtrack by itself is the fact it is very stale, minimalistic, and not very engaging. The science-fiction film it is supposed to be accompanied with is perfect - the low drones that inhabit the soundtrack give a sense of hopelessness, almost in a prison. Recommended to people who enjoyed the film, but otherwise its a hit and miss deal. Nyman incorporates his minimalistic style well with this movie, but by itself it is weak.

Mos Def True Magic
Mos Def's releases has always been given high expectations since Black Star and 'Black On Both Sides' his sensational debut. Yet, his sophomore effort; though well-done in the experimental field felt disappointing. Thus, this release Tru3 Magic was to me of low expectation. It's been said this is his last album with Geffen. I questioned myself whether or not he would go out with a bang after a previous disappointment. I braced myself for the worse, though I knew I was excited to listen to this release. Tru3 Magic starts out amazingly well, that is the first track, the self-titled track of the album. After the first track it goes downhill for most of the album. 'Undeniable' though I enjoyed was easily known to be a Temptations song that he ripped off and remixed on...which to say the least was terrible. From 'Undeniable', 'U R The One', 'Thug Is A Drug', 'A Ha', and 'Crime & Medicine'. These all are mediocre tracks. Some are terrible in my opinion....'A Ha' and 'Crime & Medicine' being the most absurd. 'Crimes & Medicine' is just boredom to the max and unnecessary to say the least. Though there are some glimpses of promise from his older days, songs like 'Dollar Day', 'Napoleon Dynamite', 'Murder of a Teenage Lift', and 'Fake Bonanza' all have a great feel to it. The only good tracks in the whole album, that is the only ones worth listening too. As for the closing track called 'Lifetime', well to say the least it does bring me back to his "Black On Both Sides" album. Thus my expectations are even lower for his next release.

Mudhoney Under a Billion Suns
I actually anticipated a decent album from these guys since I was into a stage where I would listen anything related to grunge (still do). Unlike their predecessors, this album seems a lot more clean, radio friendly and repetitive. Something I really don't enjoy when it comes with Mudhoney. Mudhoney are on of the few bands still relatively popular and playing music since the golden era of grunge, which is quite amazing considering the largest acts couldn't go through 4 years during that era.

Jaga Jazzist Jævla Jazzist Grete Stitz
Oddly disjointed with likable nu-jazz tracks such as "Serafin", but there are curious moments throughout the album. For one there's a lot of "jabber", not necessarily filler, but the long sequences of 'atmospheric' crowd noises and such are unwarranted and if this album shows anything its Jaga Jazzist in transition to their next record, the heralded A Livingroom Hush. Some thought-provoking experimentation, but when they finally meld what they're trying to do it works. Unfortunately its not consistent through the beginning of the album. Once it gets its footing undesired effects in "Ekteskap" are purely drivel to be honest, losing interest in the 2 minute borefest of radio clamor until they finally decide to do something with their time. Jaga Jazzist's first fall, albeit only into their young career. Oh...right and the 28 minute comedy session "Out of Reach (or Switched Off)" is utterly brutal.
