I haven't heard the American version yet, but the Japanese version is amazing, and I think you'd like it based on other things you've reviewed. On an unrelated note: NEW MATMOS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And from the reviews it sounds even better than the last one. Yancey, you should try to get ahold of the Japanese version of the new Boris album Smile.

There was loads... Anything good in there? Completely off topic, I know, but has anybody sifted through any of that French stuff that landed on the site this weekend?

The "international" section of eMusic is a constant wonder. Great minds, I SFY’d the Forgotten Guitars disc just a couple of days ago. The “international” section of eMusic is a constant wonder.

That is a lot of great great music. A few nights ago I was picking through some stuff from <a href="http://www.emusic.com/album/Various-Artists-Music-of-Afghanistan-MP3-Download/11031501.html" rel="nofollow">Afghanistan</a>, some Ewan MacColl and then I got a hard core jones for some Nasrat Fateh Alli Khan. Good good stuff. It was the Green Linnet collection and the Smithsonian that finally convinced my oldest friend to join. http://www.emusic.com/browse/b/b/-dbm/a/0-0/1011593147/0.html p.s. RSS feed is not working properly. I keep getting ask Amishi from before the crash as the last post. Any ideas when that will be fixed?
