It's pretty good, not quite on par with their best, but it makes me hanker after new material.

Ugh, reviewing old Pazz and Jop polls there is definitely a Before and After point when I stopped caring. Or maybe I was still keeping up but in retrospect I don’t care so much.

the only new albums i have bought in 2020 are : Cabaret Voltaire, The Black Dog, Gorillaz, Kompakt Total 20, and the African Head Charge boxset.therefore, i would say that my answer to this question is : Very stuck in my comfort zone. of course when charity shops are open then my listening can be dictated by the random finds, but that's a different story.

I'd been pondering what we mean by "comfort zone" and I don't think listening to one genre is necessarily sticking in a comfort zone.

that's very kind of you djh. my ile email is still valid if its a digital release ?
i should clarify - those albums i listed are new 2020 releases i have actually bought.for some strange reason, i am still on a few record label digital mailing lists, so have heard quite a bit more, but to be honest, nothing has hit me as much as diving into the extensive On-U/Kompakt/CV/tBD back catalogues.(during the summer i also hit my acid jazz/talkin' loud/mo'wax archives hard as well, but that stuff only works for me when the sun is out)
hence my answer to the thread is : yes, i am stuck in my comfort zone, and given the shitstorm of 2020, i have no problem with that, as it been a really enjoyable experience.

Oh, I could just post a link on ILXOR somewhere. I was thinking a CD-R because that's my comfort zone.
In fact, here you go:

May change between now and Xmas.

do you really notice that an overnight simmer has an effect on the chemical structure in a way that's discernible from, say, three hours — in a way that pork or beef would surely break down more ?
In general I prefer the original lineup but I'm willing to listen to certain side-projects
