HI Haroon,
my fav GU is Sasha in San Fransisko, i have all the GU set bar the latest one.
Have you tried any of the Nubreed series by the same label - they are worth checking out as well. andy c!

It's a good record: jazzy like a mix of St Germain and Massive Attack, if that make's sense. I think I prefer The Man With The Movie Camera, which shares a few tracks with Everyday. It's completely instrumental, has a few more horns on it a wider range of moods to it. Let me know what you think if you get it.

Yeah ive got the SF too, cracking but Ibiza edges it, along with quite a few others. There were some in the sale that werent available in store Frown, but I guess I'll appreciate that more when the credit card bill is due.

Ive got sander klienenbergs nubreed, prolly will get burridges too. Im not arsed for Lawler though, couple of times ive seen him I was not that impressed, he does nothing special in prog house that other DJs on the scene cant do, and often do better IMHO.

Mando Diao - "Bring 'em In"

i'm guessing they're Swedish. rock with a few tracks with a lot of punk speed.

No way, Pedro.

I am so impressed by Yo La Tengo that it's on repeat. I think that was your/someone elses joint suggestion - is this typical of their work?

There seems to be a lot of YLT to choose from.

YLT are so great and my vocabulary is so limited that I can't say enough nice things about them. That album and "And then nothing turned itself inside-out" are both phenomenal and two of my favorite albums of all time. "Painful" is a notch lower in excellence IMO. I never bought "Summer Sun" as hardcore fans seemed to brush it aside but now you have me considering it...

[EDIT following lunch: I forgot that you're a completist. Early on they were a bit messy and not so dreamy. I don't recommend venturing any earlier than "Electro-pura", and if you get the soundtrack they did (I forget the title) let us know if it's good.]

Rocket from the Tombs-Rocket Redux

The original lineup substituting Richard Lloyd for Peter Laughner. A punk blast from the past.

Dimitri from Paris - In the house. This is upfront house/disco with all sorts on it. Recording's a bit fierce but still groovy...

Alex,

Way to go on the ACR front - late 70's skeletal funk blossoming into fully fledged foot tappers. Those dissonant horns are still a joy to hear.

It's been a while since I listened to any ACR. I used to have plenty of it when I was younger and had a Thorens TD160, but it all went west in The Great Vinyl Robbery and I never replaced it for some reason.

Soul Jazz Records have done the decent thing and re-issued several (maybe all) of the ACR back catalog, including some extra tracks.

Well worth a few quid of anyone's hard-earned, if you ask me.
