That's a pretty good mix. No love for Moby, but other than that, solid.
I also don't like Badly Drawn Boy, but Hour of the Bewilderbeast had some great tracks. I actually think "Cause A Rockslide" is quite a perfect little tune, in a simultaneously chaotic and lovely, noisy and elegant. That's one of those instances where a so-so artist just made a TREMENDOUS fucking song, way better than the some of his career, and the song just went entirely unnoticed and wasn't even one of his relative hits.
You know what I'm taking about? You like "Cause a Rockslide?" If you ask me, that song is one of the best of its decade. It could easily have been a mid-'90s Sonic Youth track, or a late-'90s Modest Mouse track, or an early 2000s Blur track... y'know? It's pretty fucking unreal in its amazingness compared to the rest of his stuff.
Aphex Twin, Caribou, Squarepusher, YLT, etc. all aces. But where's Boards of Canada? Must had Boards for chillz.
