i'll throw in a few words for the releases i've heard (or own):

> Bogdan Raczynski- Boku Mo Wakaran
i like it a lot, but some may find it boring/all-of-the-same, drill n
bass by numbers. the sound of it is very enjoyable & not pretentious
one bit, so that makes up for any afx-ripoff complaints this record may
get. only problem: it's expensive as hell, because it's rephlex. there
are only 1000 copies of the cd & 1000 of the vinyl so you may want to
pick up either one, if you're nervous about them disappearing in the
next week (though i doubt that'd happen so fast.)

> BlipBloop: Soundtracks For Imaginary Videogames
some of the tracks are amazing (colongib, hrvatski v blitter) & make me
glad i have the cd, there are some known names who turn out interesting
if not great tracks (mandell, v/vm, etc.) & all in all the concept
works. lots of failed experiments, however, but the lucky kitchen-brand
homemade feel it has more or less makes up for it. it's a little rare
(i think there's less than 1000 copies pressed) but quite easy to find,
although i think only napkin printed copies remain.

> 0161 compilation (Skam)
lots of good, some forgettable, but all in all an enjoyable mix of
skam-like electronics & v/vm-like noise madness. it has quite an
all-star cast: gescom, bola, jega, plus the v/vm crew (don't ask me
who's who though!) & pitchcadet kids yunx & datathief, to name the most
obvious. i think it's worth having if only for the range of sounds
found within. pretty easy to find these days.
quoted 1 line Global Goon- Cradle of History
> Global Goon- Cradle of History
if you like afx's cheesiest moments, this is for you. i personally
liked a lot of it, it has a lot of borderline silly tracks which are so
good you can forgive the off-the-wallness. the vocal loops can get a
bit tedious (a friend of mine mentioned the art of noise upon hearing
them) but all in all this is quite a great thing to listen to. here
again though, the rephlex price tag is the one turn-off i can think of.
i've seen it a couple places, so i doubt it's considered rare.
hope this helped.
