Lynx & Kemo - The Raw Truth
I've been letting this one simmer for a few weeks, and i'm really glad i did. Kemo is a Yanky MC living in Germany and Lynx has been a young upstart in the UK drum'n'bass scene for a few years. Together they have put forward one of the most stripped back yet genre hopping dub'n'bass releases in ages. Straddling genres like playthings, the album never feels disjointed. In fact, more than any other realease in recent memory, the tracks play off each other seamlessly washing from lo-fi d'n'b, to dubstep, to jazzed out hippin' breaks. At first it all seams little underwhelming, but rest assured this is one of the most accomplished breaks/hip hop releases you'll listen to this year.
Lindstrom and Prins Thomas - II
A few weeks back i said i was letting some albums grow on me. I didn't want to judge too soon. This was one of them, and i just can't stop returning to it. Like a tripped out prog soft electronic rock masterpiece from the future, this thing is so dreamy it almost makes me wish i could fly... At times sounding like a more organic version of Shpongle; from the opening track to the final note this album feels like nothing else. But be warned, it is not for the short of attention span as tracks build and build over minutes, with huge peaks and troughs, mutli-layering, crazed synth-lines and weird "what the fuck was that?" moments.

Mothra - Dyes
no, not the dredful nu-metal cretins that crawled out of buttfuck USA in the late 90's. These guys are from Poland, and all i'll say is... if you grew up poor and hungry in Poland, you'd make hardcore punk as angry, unhinged and downright miserable as this... RAWK!!!
Things to look forward to:
new The Roots album
new lil wayne - please don't suck... but i have a bad feeling about this "rock" album
finally the new Datarock album.. good god take your time boys!
