    hi from Kansas

    possibly the best cd purchase I've made in a while. This came out on Tuesday and I can't stop listening to it. I listened almost all the way from New York to Kansas (where I'm based through the holidays - Hi JC!!!).

    Daddy G - DJ Kicks
    (I was told, "If you're into Massive Attack" (I am) "If you're into dub reggae" (I am) and "If you're into the DJ Kicks series on K!7 Records" (I am).... "you will LOVE THIS CD" (I do, I do, I do!!)

    ALSO been listening to The Good Life (which is the other band with the lead singer of Cursive) (JC's friends)
    good emo-sounding/indie rock sounding cd. I saw the band playing in Lawrence KS and the show was PACKED with kids.

    I think I see what my next purchase may have to be.

    You ever listen to any of the Back to Mine comps? Tricky's got a fun one and the Everything but the Girl is good too.

    I don't know the Back to Mine comps. I like Tricky a LOT, and some Everything But the Girl. (Everything But the Girl is a bit too 'disco' for me but I like some of their music)

    If you are into dub reggae/electronic music, you'll probably REALLY like this Daddy G comp. I'd also highly recommend the DJ Kicks Kruder/Dorfmeister AND DJ Kicks Thievery Corporation cds.

    I haven't heard the Thievery Corporation one, I'll have to check that out sometime.


    The Back to Mine series is pretty good. If you like the DJ Kicks, you'll probably like it. The Tricky one has a bunch of good songs on it, but it's not so much of a true DJ style set as many of the others.

    Wow, just checked the tracklist and it does have some good remixes on there! That Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Mustt Mustt (Massive Attack Remix) is pretty cool. Closes out Nusrat's Mustt Mustt CD which is a great album on its own. Same with that Leftfield track. Leftism is a classic. Too bad it hardly gets mentioned anymore now that they are no more. Also adore that Unfinished Sympathy mix by Oakenfold. Great remix of a near perfect song. Might have to pick this one up myself cause it collects so much cool stuff in one place. Thanks for the info!

    Thanks for the word on Daddy G that track list looks good. I like some of the BTM comps a friend buys most if not all of them and I've lifted a few copies, some work really well like the early one from Danny Tenaglia or Talvin Singh (which I think is one of the best) but some leave me a little cold.

    I've got to agree on the K&D and Thievery Corporation Cd's though which are very nice. Mirror Conspiracy is one of my faves but the latest Thievery one Outernational Sound was a little disappointing there's a couple of individual tracks I like but the flow didn't work too well for me.

    Also worth checking out Zero 7 a little softer and not much dub but still pretty good, Dzihan & Kamien and of course Tosca who are the best at this type of stuff IMO. An older one from a few years back is Kid Loco which I still play a lot.

    Cheers
    Mike
