I think there are a lot of good things to review that are new or haven't been discussed yet. In the last order we did, we got the new Advent- Shaded Elements, Muzik Master with Dave Clarke spinning (really cool), new Planetary Assault Systems, and a lot of other stuff. I guess that I've just been a lazy bastard, not reviewing stuff lately. Other stuff that we are getting in, are Carl Craig's - Bug In the Bassbin remixes on Mo Wax and the original on Planet E, Digital Justice on Fragile, The new DJ Shadow full length on Mo WAX, Leo Anibaldi - Void, Mark Broom - Angie is a shoplifter and a Whole bunch of other stuff that I am spacing out on right now. Someone did mention earlier that this list is usually devoted to mostly to Warp/Rephlex product. I for one usually love that stuff, but I also like a great deal of other stuff. I guess I only talk about certain on this list and other things on others. Maybe other people are doing this also, and we should expand the variety a little more. I am interested in hearing a little more on good Drum nBass/Minimal/detroit, etc On Now: Angular Art (it's the bomb!) B i l l S a m u e l s w l s @ U . A r i z o n a . E D U
