Future Primitives
Here's another hour of accessible fin de siècle dance music from Vancouver's hugely prolific Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber (also known as Frontline Assembly and Delerium). Early pioneers of the now-ubiquitous monastic and Central African vocal samples, these studio recluses sprinkle all kinds of third-world field recordings atop evocative synths and burbling rhythms. Clubbers and armchair dreamers alike will find tracks like "Mantra" and "Blackhole Amazon" edgy and intriguing.--Jeff Bateman
