--- Quote from: youthcant on 08 Oct 2010, 14:22 ---I bought that Curren$y album a while back. The bass is hits so hard and long in "Audio Dope" that it made my brother-in-law's 12subs come out of their box, and it made the light cover on my back hatch of my bronco II pop out of the headboard.
here's my favorite hip-hop record of the year, thus far:

and i recommend buying it, and if you go to a record store and be sure to search for it as Big K.R.I.T., music stores won't pull his work up if you just put BIG KRIT

+1 Great record (Curre$y one as well)

I couldn't possibly say enough good things about this album
Binary Star - Masters Of The Universe (2000) [192kbps]

from allmusic
--- Quote ---Any lucky owner of Binary Star's limited-distribution pressing of the 1999 LP Waterworld would already be familiar with most of the material on Masters of the Universe. It has everything a great hip-hop album requires, with varied beats, differing rhyme deliveries, and content you'll find yourself thinking about long after it's been said. Unfortunately, without a huge marketing budget from a major label, this album will probably fail to reach the level of success it deserves, but then again, Binary Star isn't necessarily after the typical ideal of success. With quotes like this -- "Rap's got 'em brainwashed with cash that don't last/And five minutes of fame, that's when it's a shame/Seein' real MCs try to imitate rappers/If you ask me, they goin' out ass-backwards/Tradin' in respect just to push a phat Lex/And Puffy rhymin' on the remix, what's next?!" -- it's easy to see why this is a refreshing alternative from the mainstream of rap.

Arandel - In D#3 EP
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Luxurious set of remixes from Bruno Pronsato, Sinner DC, and Manvoy de Saint Sadrill, all working with original material from Arandel's disciplined 'In D#3' album. The elevation and expansion of Bruno Pronsato's minimalist subtleties are clearly evidenced on his two mixes, erring ever closer to the organic sound and structure of Ricardo Villalobos with tender drones and constantly evolving rhythms arranged with a truly masterful touch. Meanwhile, Sinner DC's remix rises from a cluster of classical strings to embark on a slow house drone mission, while the impressively titled Manvoy de Saint Sadrill remix reduces everything to pulsing, bubbling electronics with an engrossing compositional arc reminiscent of Alva Noto, or perhaps more to Radovan Scascasia's The Ends. Arandel's own 'In D#2 (Bonus Track)' moves on its own axis though, with a plush sound sphere crafted from "real" instrumentation and deft sparing production.

"In D#2 (Bonus Track)" reminds me a lot of a more house-oriented Quiet Village, and in general this is the sort of serene, "organic" dance music that really takes to me when the air gets cold and dry.

New ripsssssss
Silkie - Bass Junkie / 80's Baby
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Silkie on a mission here, dropping two anthemic rollers for the next round of 'City Limits Vol.1.2'. 'Bass Junkie' is unquestionably one of the heaviest dubstep/rare groove/jungle fusions we've heard this year, smashing out bassbin-wrecking subs and tightly tucked drum rolls with an acidic lick of boogie for acute balance. Guaranteed ruffige in the dance! '80s Baby' on the flip rolls with that flagrant purple gangsta lean, all extra-Funked up synth riffs, floating chords and busy-but-coool rhythms to find help find your step while not spilling your drink on those luminous Air Max's you just shelled out on. Badass!

Includes a 33 RPM fuckup rip of "80's Baby", which sounds awesomely like a lost Autonomic cut.

Keith Fullerton Whitman - Disingenuity
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Keith Fullerton Whitman has consistently blown our tiny minds this year with a stream of utterly crucial releases. Whether morphing the Arabic Oud into majestically ornate formations or commanding his self-generating hybrid analogue/digital modular setup into unimaginable arrangements, we're witnessing the culmination of years of dedicated research and experimentation blossoming into tangible, cherishable productions in 2010. Arguably, he's saved the best for this LP, using masses of recordings gleaned from live improv and studio sessions between 2007-08 as the raw material for these compositions, created between 2008 and spring 2010. In the seventeen minutes of 'Disingenuity' we're subject to a cataclysmic display of cosmically attuned imagination, conjuring myriad configurations of textures, shapes, contours and tones with the constant ability to shock, seduce and tear us apart at will. Within the ever shifting dimensions of his arena, sounds are generated from his Doepfer Hybrid Modular Synth and made to radiate and ricochet from every surface, returning to our ears in a different shape and space each time, violently unstable and cosmically chaotic, yet hopelessly engrossing, kinda like hearing a field recording from the big bang. If that was the genesis, then 'Disingenuousness' is what came after, as the constellations settle into place and the excess energies disperse with reduced velocity, homogenizing into alien harmonic structures and nuclear melodies with the deft electro-acoustic rendition of pioneers like Pierre Henry, Bernard Parmegiani or Tod Dockstader, whose work he effectively continues today. If you love experiencing visceral, thrilling electronics that sounds like the music of the stars, you simply owe it to yourself to listen to this album, you will thank yourself afterwards. **Please be aware, this album is strictly limited, housed in custom printed outer-pvc with a design aesthetic worthy of the music contained within** ESSENTIAL.

Just broken up into an A Side and B Side. As per the usual for long-range shipping, the PVC slipcase for the album seems to have warped in transit :'( Still smells like a new car, though.
