I was at this a couple of years ago. Heading back this year, Great wee festival.

These days if I listen to Mogwai, it's Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will. I'm not their biggest fan but I love this album.

Happy New Year Colin. I'm up for a Hip Hop version. Nothing older than 1990's from me though.

This thread has reignited my love of electronic music and I've been discovering new(ish) music as well as rediscovering some old favourites. DNBWMHM was no2 on my list and was a worthy winner.

Good show Colin. Best thread I've read in a long time and a worthy winner. I'm already looking forward to the next one!!!

Come on Colin; you can't keep us hanging on. This like one of those unnaturally long pauses before the winner of a reality TV show is announced. You've gone all Davina McColl on us.

This thread makes you dig out those forgotten albums that you haven't listened to in a long time. SAW is one of those. I may have to rip the CD or even buy it again mind you.

Again, my narrower definition of electronic music has meant another album that wasn't in my list is possibly lower than it should be. I only put in music with electronically produced sounds and not sample based music.

For some reason, I didn't consider Massive Attack. They are one of my favourite bands but I didn't class them as electronic and I've no idea why. Moon safari was top of my list though. Oh aye, I would also like to congratulate Colin on his excellent thread idea and quality reviews.

I'm not usually into the noisier end of any music these days but Monkeytown seems to have grabbed my attention. Apparently they are about to start recording a new Moderat album.

I would probably change my choices now. I can't stop listening to Moderat, Modeselektor and Apparat.

This!!

Hidden Orchestra - Night Walks

I can't profess to know too much about the UK scene these days, so I wouldn't know if it was or wasn't poppier. I was just commenting that if poppier Hip hop was the trend then it was a bit of a departure from the past. I will have a listen to Example's and your stuff though.

Changed days from the "golden era" of UK hip hop then when the likes of Gunshot, Hijack. Demon Boyz, Hardnoise and London Posse were anything but pop music.

Used to kick about with Div a few years ago. Here's my efforts from around that time(12 years ago) Back Of Beyond

I really like some Scottish Hip Hop. There are some good rappers out there although it does take a while before you stop noticing the accent.

Patrick watson - Close to paradise, stunningly good album.

Cinematic Orchestra - Ma Fleurs Can't get enough of this at the moment, that and Patrick Watson - Close to Paradise

Watched David Lynch's Inland Empire the other night. It looked and sounded good as all Lynch stuff does, the plot, however, was even less coherent than his other films. It was still enjoyable and still has me thinking about it. 8/10

Rockness for Daft Punk and some others this weekend. A wee round of Golf at Dornoch on the friday as well. Nice!

Killa Insticnt - Thieves Rush in.. Can't get enough of the old Britcore Hip Hop sound; far better than any American stuff.

Nick drake - Pink Moon A singer songwriter that people like Jack Johnson try to emulute but never come close.

Neil Diamond - 12 Songs, surprisingly good.
