As far as electronica goes I've purchased The Orb - Orblivion DJ Krush - Meiso Chemical Brothers - (forgot the title but it's a very recent album, might even be their current one). Please note I am not very knowledgeable in this field, having had a past life as a guitar-strumming caveman who didn't think much of electronica. ^_^ My impression of the Chem Bros so far is that their CD would be great for working out. This is not an insult; it's really beat heavy, uptempo kind of stuff. The way different sounds fade in and out of the mix and are frequently looped remind me of the Orb's style. DJ Krush's CD is more straight hip-hop. The best track for me is the duet with DJ Shadow, with the two engaging in creative dialogue. I can't tell the difference between good and bad hip-hop (other than bad remakes of previous hits like the new rap tune that totally rips off Grandmaster Flash's classic). But, I do like this CD. The Orb's new CD seems to have a darker, even more dub-heavy feel than previous releases; this might be due to the new lineup of Alex Patterson plus two guys who weren't members before as far as I know. What remains the same is the creativity that this group has become known for.
