Not Breathing, The Starry Wisdom (Invisible Records). The brilliant double CD is high dosage head stash. Disc One shines with a mixture of hard acid tribal mushroom percussion and dubby down beats. Disc Two is a purely ambient excursion into an alien radio broadcast. A must for any head.

UMO, 2 (Caipirinha Music). Freestyle electro down beats by the likes of Air Liquide's Jammin' Unit. Creates an overall funky vibe on the slower side. Great for chill time.

ZEKE, Kicked in the Teeth (Epitaph). If you thought speed-thrash-metal was dead (and miss it), then check this out. They don't call ZEKE "the hardest band in the world" for nothing.

Buffalo Daughter, Captain Vapor Athletes (Grand Royal). Trippy Japanese noise-pop. Surreal electronic fun. Good party music.
