It’s winter; I’m in a mood for really bad music:

1.

TITLE = Untrue
ARTIST = Burial

First up, It’s something the kids across the pond thought up a couple years ago: dubstep. I guess this is what you get when you get sick and tired of 2-step and garage. Kind of like what happened to the fun beats and basslines of early UK jungle turning into everything Dieselboy produces (Oh, snap!).

2.

TITLE = All That Glitters
ARTIST = MRI

We call this “microhouse”. If you can’t rattle of the 4 kinds of techno and the 6 variants of deep house, then just think of it as boring German dance music without words, which is a descriptive phrase so aptly and redundantly respective that it fits perfectly. One eMusic reviewer says, “No – didn’t like this one myself. It’s a bit too bang bang bang and not enough bleep, squidge, clip if you no what I mean,” and is cut down with, “bleep squidge click is boring… dont listen to him.. this album is lush and sexy and gogreous listening.. get it!”

Gogreous music, indeed.

3.

SERIES = Global Underground
VOLUME = 33
LOCATION = Rio
DJS = Layo and Bushwacka!

I haven’t listened to this all the way through; I’ve been downloading it in parts over the last couple months to spread out the opportunity cost of downloading 44 tracks, only to find that I only needed to download the last two, which are continuous mixes of the rest. Try this google search if you are desperate for an opinion; I don’t have one yet.

4.

TITLE = Spirit of the Jaguar
LABEL = Underground Resistance

This EP contains two tracks, “The- Jaguar” and “The- Ascension”, originally released by Underground Resistance, then promptly almost stolen by Sony. The story is documented. Sony: you suck. I am very happy to buy very little of your music. I will despise you in particular if I ever have to buy a PS3.

5.

TITLE = The Prodigy Experience
ARTIST = The Prodigy

Yay! An old school classic. If you don’t know anything about the music of rave, this is a decent start for you. Please enjoy the listen.
