This is my choice in no particular order: 1. squarepusher: feed me weird things : rephlex This one is the best thing TJ has ever put out. Fantastic drum and bass. 2. autechre: tri repetae++ : warp/tvt First Ae I ever bought, it made me want to buy everything they had ever recorded. Maybe it's not their best release, but I heard it first... 3. boards of canada: music has the right to children : skam/warp Living in Canada and remembering the *boards of canada* vignettes, I think this album is the best piece of vinyl I ever bought. Can't describe what it does to me but like some other people said, the music puts you back in your deepest and farest memories. 4. req: one : skint Don't know why this one is released on Skint, it's not really their style. Extreme lo-fi hip hop and scratches. 4-track recording, dirty-tape samples, etc. Essential for those 4 AM parties. 5. various: skampler : skam This one is worth the import price simply for the Bola tracks. And the best part is that the rest is worth it too. Started a whole new bunch of releases that sound too much alike IMHO. The ones that almost made it: aphex twin: selected ambient works ii : warp/sire global goon: cradle of history : rephlex photek: modus operandi : astralwerks uziq: tango and vectif : rephlex? jega: card hore (or ska009 or whatever this one's called) : skam x-103: atlantis : tresor various: blech ii : warp lfo: advance : warp plaid: not for threes : warp flare: grip : ? christophe de babalon: if you're into it, then i'm out of it : dhr Sebastien np: jump up throw down (party music at work :))

The National Film Board of Canada (usually called the NFB for short) produced a series of wildlife vignettes back in the early 70's that used to be shown on television here in Canada during commerical breaks. They were basically 30-60 seconds of footage of a particular animal with a bit of music and a narrator giving info about the animal ("The woodchuck lives in snowy climes", etc.). Anyone who grew up watching Canadian television in the 70's has these little things engrained in their skulls for all eternity, and they've been parodied many times on Canadian TV shows and movies. Anyway, both blokes from BoC lived in Canada for a bit when they were kids, and they say that these vignettes (and other NFB productions - they've done a *lot* of stuff, mostly little documentaries about Canada and animation) imfluenced both their film and music work.

They were still playing all the time in the 80s, too. Someone smart is going to make a great tune out of that vignette that had the natives dancing in the drum circle. bbn
