Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile (if only it was one really good disc...)
The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free (threw it in for something different)

X-D Hey now, you're treading on my old stomping grounds! I wouldn't say Pretty Hate Machine is in the same league as goth - maybe goth crossover... but it's more industrial than anything else. Same black feathers but not the same flock, you know? And it's definitely not gay goth, tell that to the kids of the industrial revolution... old farts like myself! ;) hehe. You want true gay goth-dance 80's try the Cure!! *wink*
Agreed with your thought on The Fragile. That record was... meticulous. Good in some parts, laggy in others - exhausting to listen to. I know some die hard NIN fans that thought the record was brilliant, but the record seemed to divide up the fan base, sort of alienated the older fans. It has sparks of brilliance but to me it felt like too much a diversion from the old familiar NIN I was acquainted with.

Cocteau Twins - Victorialand (insanely gorgeous to listen to)
Kasabian - Kasabian (I haven't been this amped about a new band in ages)
U2 - How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (still trying desperately to love it, some songs on there I can seriously do without)
Messiah - 21st Century Jesus (this one takes me back to those long ago weekends when I'd put my hands in the air and wiggle em like I just don't care)
Chemical Brothers - Singles Bonus (I need not explain)
Fatboy Slim - On the Floor at the Boutique (makes me wish I was going out)
Spiritualized - Fucked Up Inside (great live record, and I still can't find myself an original copy!)

Underworld - Beacoup Fish
Underworld - Second Toughest in the Infants
Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Bjork - Debut
Groove Armada - The Best Of
That's about all I've been listening to in the past week or so, except I recently listened to ALL of my Chems CDs that I have backed up on two mp3 CDs, while on the go between different tutoring jobs all over Hong Kong - fun stuff. As you may be able to tell, I recently completed my collection of all of Underworld's "main" albums (i.e. nothing in their 'pre-electronica' days, if you know what I mean), and anType was right in saying they are all must-have - brilliant records.

Any Beck fans here? Really interested to see what his new album will be like, see if it'll be a nice breath of fresh air from a lot of other crap that's being released... same with Chems, of course!

I really enjoy what he's done with Air. Great remix of Sexy Boy that gave the song a goofy sense of humor. When I first heard he was going to collab with Air on 10,000 hz Legend, I thought his folky style was a bit too quirky for the laid back duo. Then again, 10,000hz Legend was a pretty quirky, experimental record.
I also saw him perform in 1999. Unfortunately I was too brained out and melted from the Chemicals and Underworld to remember much of his performance. :-//

Listen to 'Kinda I Want To' and 'The Only Time' and tell me again how it's not gay.... ;-) Especially when you put the ambiguity of Trent's sexual history into context.... ('Sin' is still awesome though; I like 'Ringfinger', too)
As much as I love old NIN ('Broken' is my fave), it was the more progressive elements of the Fragile that I enjoy the most. The album is a sonic masterpiece; if only some of the songwriting had been better. I really noticed this week the dance music elements in the album though. 'Starfuckers' actually has a jungle/d'n'b skitter-beat going on before the "big dumb rock riff" (trademark) of the chorus comes in (props for the Kiss "Alive" sample at the end of the track though). I'd spin 'Complication' if I was a DJ.
And Alan Moulder's presence really cements the album's My Bloody Valentine influence, especially on TDTWWA.
I think a single album version would have had a better "narrative" to it, like The Downward Spiral (although perhaps not so much of a concept). My semester break goal is to come up with the "proper" tracklisting for a single-disc "The Fragile". I'll keep you updated. 8)
Now if only I could get enough time away from papers and exams to watch the DVD....
