Based on all the excellent suggestions so far, I'd have to include
Ambidextrous' new one on Shaped Harmonics called 'Post-Pop Workshop'. Most
definately Nick's strongest and most mature release to date. This has been a
favorite of mine for a couple months now and will probably wind up on my top
10 this year.

I've also found myself playing Kadah Vresky's 'Tomato Weirdo' release on
Djak-Up-Bitch/Clone. A very diverse and solid listen for fans of BoC,
Prefuse 73, or Casino vs. Japan.

And although not melodic, I have to say the beatwork on Portland's 'Distal'
MD is just stellar.
