I really must be out of it.

Schneider TM sound like Badly Drawn Boy goes electro, so avoid.

Only one I know is this one:

astrobotnia "part 1"

and it's great. Excellent sample from The Burbs, for starters.

the astrobotnia is ok (but the best track is on part2), i heard this track out the other week and it was really good, but the other tracks dont match it

i'd like to know about the d'arcangelo too. if i was buying blind this is the one i'd risk

i know a few people whove got the ellen alien recrd. i havent heard it yet

my 'zoomer' thread:
Schneider TM "Zoomer" - any good?

weiss.mix is f**kin' fantastic!

And, er, here's my thread about it - weiss.mix

i second that .. the darcangelo album is a little boring, they seem to have ditched techno for a more boards-esque music.. the jello record aint too good either..

jello = zzz
zoomer = one great track, rest rather dull
astrobotnia part 1 = very nice but not amazing, for some reason individual tracks sound much better in isolation than as part of the album

I've heard good things about Weiss Mix, so I suppose personally I'd say that or the Astrobotnia, but then I've never particularly liked the artists I haven't mentioned and I don't know anything about those specific releases.

If the Jon Tejada is the new one with the stuffed animals on the cover, get it. Friend of mine picked up two weeks ago and I really liked it.

I really liked both the Italic comp and 'Weiss Mix'. 'Zoomer' was okay, but I'd probably feel pissed off if I had paid for it. Jello's album was bad. I haven't heard the others.
