Does anyone listen to drum n' bass
Not really into D&B. More trip-hop like other guys have said. But try LTJ Bukem and DJ Shadow. The Unkle album is great. I love Lamb, but they are more 'melodic' d&b. female lyrics over d&b music. great combination. better than it sounds! -
Blues/Jazz for Beginners
Dont know much about blues. Miles Davis is a pretty sound start for jazz... Kind of Blue or Birth of the Cool. Any Blue Note by the likes of Nina Simone too -

What's your vote for best album of 2001?
Quote: Originally posted by Zanth Xevion: I can relate to Nezer's argument. I have plenty stand-alone players, but the point of not buying copy protected disks is freedom of choice. I buy the disk, I should be able to do any legal thing with it that I want. Making a legal backup of it... -

Royksopp anybody?
I thought the Kings of Convenience were more like Belle and Sebestian than dance? Is the remix album more dancey? I got hold of the Royksopp album a couple of weeks ago. It had a few nice moments, but failed to make immediate impact. Maybe it'll be a grower... Till then I'll stick to Lamb
