Okie dokie, I'll keep my list short 'cause I could go on forever and I really should be working right now. :) Boards of Canada - Happy Cycling - Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, great outro track to a great album. Squarepusher - Tundra - My first exposure to Tom Jenkinson, and, though Journey to Reedham/My Red Hot Car/Beep Street/etc... are way way way up on my list, this is still my favorite squarepusher track Autechre - Eggshell/Autiche - I put these in the same line 'cause they're both off the same album and I usually listen to one when I listen to the other. Once again, lots of warm fuzzies. Funkstorung - Last track on "Additional Productions" that I can't remember the name of right now - Same as the Happy Cycling, great outro and it's even on a remix album which makes it all the more impressive. Lego Feet - First song off the EP - Mmm crunchy happiness that tempts me to pay $400 for the EP off eBay. ;) Lexaunculpt - Live Webcast, part 2 - IDM remix of the metroid theme. Yum. Aphex Twin - Boy/Girl Song - Beep. Kyle
