I'm not satisfied with the sidebar music section. Don't ask me why. I'd rather throw my recent favorites up here in a post. I'll do it infrequently. Here we go...

• Matrix & Futurebound - Universal Truth
  • From 2007, a great straight-ahead drum&bass album with some subtly but interesting sounds/samples. Well selected MCs on a few tracks.
• Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
  • Enough has been written about this, it's just a beautiful album.
• The Berg Sans Nipple - Along the Quai
  • Warm and soft sounding electronic/post-rock mix.
• London Elektricity - Syncopated City
  • One of my two all time favorite dnb producers (the other is LTJ Bukem), Tony Coleman puts together another good full-length. I'm not sure I quite like his singing lead, but good in all other areas.
• The Slapped Eyeballers - Sloppy Future Manipulations
  • A one-off EP Dimlite and Balt Mirczok, with Balt's achingly beautiful, breathy vocals. And yes, the title track is in waltz time.
• Home Cooking: Soulfood Served by Jazzanova and Friends
  • Jazzanova put together a soulful, loungey mix that is a definite must have.
• High Contrast - Tough Guys Don't Dance
  • A solid drum&bass album. Has a retro sound (tell me you don't hear 'Timeless' in the first track), with a great epic quality to many of the tracks.
