I'd go somewhere betwixt 6 and 7. Sometimes it gets a little too self-indulgent, but when it's good - it's very good.

It's good!

I guessed a 6. Alas. I'll still buy it, though, and immerse myself in its almighty riffery. And I quite like the Foo Fighters.

"ingrained hatred of the ordinary tastes of ordinary people"

I don't hate the tastes of ordinary people - I'M AN ORDINARY PERSON.

To create some kind of class war based on what constitutes middle-class music is daft considering how much great progress is being made in the electronic scene by very ordinary people.

This's some weird, one-sided piece that focuses strictly on guitar pop. And y'know - Snow Patrol got 6/10 on here this week. That's not bad considering all reviewers have an ingrained hatred of them. FFS. The world is evolving, let's drop the nostalgia, or save it for TOTP2.

Tasty.

Not one for audiophiles.

Is the reason the drums are higher in the mix. But some treble has been rolled off the splash of the cymbals.

Fuck off, Apple.

AND IT IS PURE FIRE.

Nice.

Directed that 'Live at the Apollo' business. God,their fawning for all things retro is fucking annoying.

I really quite like this record.

COMING SOON!

This is the best writing I've read on DiS this year.

Looking forward to it. Your reviews have been pretty comprehensive so far.

It's not compressed to fuck like 'Ten Redux' was earlier this year, and I've not detected limiting. But I've only had a cursory listen on headphones. There's no mastering credit, so I can't imagine much was even done tbh. Will have a geeky look at a waveform later. Some info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Catalogue

I've most of these records already, but I did pick up The Mix today so I can see what difference the remastering has made. First impressions seem to suggest removal of tape hiss, compression (particularly noticeable on the kickdrums) and EQ. Will check it our properly later with proper equipment.

My comment didn't post. But it basically said 'Good one, Chris'.

Then Aphex Twin, Artificial Intelligence, Squarepusher and Broadcast.

Now financially poorer, but culturally enriched.

Wow.

Bleep.com have a rather fab 2 classic Warp discs for £10 offer on at the moment to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Fill yer boots (also includes the 10+2 disc thewarn mentions).

Is fab.

Pro or otherwise. And I don't go to cafes, or hump trends.

But everything else is right.

Too many big names for this to be shit, or a vanity project. I reckon it'll be live.

Was good. Leave Belladonna alone!

But this is a good album.

And the music does indeed meander. Disappointing. A better 'African' album delivered by The Very Best.

Sukh Knight to win.

;D

Shit now. Great then.

But still not very good.

Dull record.

Fuckin Calvin fuckin Harris.

Gotta be an 8.

Except those that like 'Ten'.

Hope she wins it.

Holy shit! SO I AM!

Because there's an answer for everything, because someone thinks they're cleverer than everyone, because because because. It's not cos you 'care', it's cos you've got a forum to wank in. Can't a piece just be written without being torn apart by idiots? FOR ONCE?

What with her being all upset n all. Shame.

This album is the beeswax.
