Two more, one that I got last month but have been hitting hard, and another that I got just tonight. The first, Dexplicit's <i>Dexplicit Dubz 2</i> EP, is an English bassline house producer who I first heard about in February through Dj /Rupture's WFMU show, "Mudd Up!" I wish I had been aware of him before that show's broadcast, cos I would've loved to see him perform in NYC. The other came to my attention thanks to Todd's post about the Border Community label - Petter's <i>Some Polyphony</i> 12". Petter's tracks were some of my favorite on James Holden's <i>At the Controls</i> and <i>Balance 005</i> mixes.

Kinda reminded me of Grandaddy at first, but not so much after a few more times through. Very nice. After 4 votes, its at 2.5 stars, so somebody must hate it. I love it.

First heard "Breath Thin" on The Current here in MSP, and kept having that "who is this?" reaction. Also like "Mass" and "There Goes A Man." Not the most out-there stuff - kinda My Morning Jacket-ish, I suppose, w/ plenty of reverb - but good songs good singer is still an effective combo.

There was an article about all 3 bands and the scene generally in the 2007 Wire Rewind issue. Pop is one of those albums I kept putting off getting until it was too late.

Too bad emusic doesn't have <i>Djungelns Lag</i>, the best album I've heard by them (NB: I haven't heard the live disc on the site, but on the strength of DL alone I'm willing to bet it's good). I also have that Parson Sound 2xCD but haven't heard anything by International Harvester, the other (maybe the same?) band that evolved from PS and TGOS. You know anything by them, Adamm? Yancey, you actually recommended <i>Pop</i> to me a long time ago, maybe as far back as DVDTalk days (I was "fallow" on that board, BTW; we also met during CMJ 2004, I think).

Also a big Neu! and Kraftwerk fan. Never got around to hearing any Hawkwind; what's a good starting point? If you like Parson Sound, Träd Gräs Och Stenar, also on emusic, is pretty much the same people, a couple years later. I haven't downloaded it yet, but it might be good. In the same vein, although a lot noisier, is Les Rallizes Denudes, from Japan; emusic has only one song, on the Sub Rosa Noise Compilation Vol. 4, as "Ralizes Denudes." But if you like it you can find other stuff out there with some dilligent searching. love the first Faust record, that was one of my first month’s downloads when i first subscribed.
