Wasn't sure what thread to post this in but this is fucking super hype

"Until recently it wasn’t much more than some rumours on the web: a 1982 released LP called TEN RAGAS TO A DISCO BEAT containing Kraftwerk-like acid house music, years before the genre was invented.

So it turns out, the record was no rumour. Only a few hundred copies of the LP were ever pressed, and only a handful seem to have survived. Moreover, the LP outdoes all expectations. Performed on the synths that would later define Acid House, the Roland TB-303 and TR-808, the album sounds light years ahead of its time with its repetitive beats and hypnotic electronic melodies. Its maker, Bollywood session musician Charanjit Singh, set out to translate ancient Indian classical Ragas to the modern synthesizer and in doing so seems to have invented House music along the way. The 10 tracks make a consistent listen from A to Z. Its restrained minimalism and lack of cheesiness makes it incredibly contemporary, sounding animated, fluid and unabashedly alive"

I love the new Books album (but that's no surprise, loved them from way back)... Digital Mystikz have made the best On-U Sound album since about The Pounding System... the remaster of Godflesh's Streetcleaner is as blistering as you'd expect.. and I've got my hands on a cheeky copy of Mogwai's Special Moves which proves that when they all do the "stomping on the FX pedals" bit in unison, there's not a live band to touch them.
