Hey, here's some stuff I've been listening to, as one year ends and the next one starts. If you're into any of it too, let me know, and if not, try checking it out.
Matthew Dear - Leave Luck to Heaven. - It's on Ghostly International, (or Spectral, whichever you wanna call it) which is easily one of the best lables around. I can literally buy anything they put out and instantly love it. It's nice melodic electro. Some cool vocals. Kinda mysterious and a bit dancy and dark. It's like a tight black t-shirt. I put it on when I'm getting ready to go out, and I feel 100 times sexier.
Dani Siciliano - Dani Siciliano likes... - on !K7, again one of the best lables on the planet. She's Matthew Herbert's wife, but she's awesome in her own right. This album is all over the place, but it's always melodic and catchy and jazzy and right-on in every way. I'm especially into her version of Nirvana's Come as You are.
RJD2 - Since We Last Met - on Definative Jux - He's pretty much a genius. Normally a hip-hop producer, providing beats for Soul Position and others. This is his second solo project and it's decidedly less hip hop than the first. There are no vocals for one thing, but don't let that scare you away. He's at the top of his game here. If you're a fan of DJ Shadow, you'll like this better.
Jeans Team - Gold Und Silber - Kitty-Yo -it's just an EP, and it came out in 2002 but it's going to take a miracle to get me to stop playing it. It's the most infectious music I've heard in a long time. Or well, since their self-titled full length came out in 2000. If there was a scene in Tron where the characters went to a sexy German disco with pulsating lights and a pumping sound system this would be the music they danced to.
And you know, whatever, I'm listening to a million other things too. Beans- Shock City Maverick and whatever I can find by the Crown City Rockers. Any 7heads reissue I can get my hands on. And blah blah blah, lots of other stuff. But I guess it can all wait for another post. For now, I'm off to put on my tight black t-shirt...

Thanks for the picks. Ghostly International sounded familiar so I looked them up. I found the connection in my brain to Twine. Plus I saw that they carried some Legowelt (who is high on my IDM chart) too, I think just on a compilation though.
RJD2 is sweet. I'll have to check out your other recomendations. This is the place to turn people on to new music.
Man I need to buy more CD's.
