I like the song "Toxygene" off it.
By the way, does anyone else find having new albums out by groups named
Orb, Orbit, and Orbital, totally confusing?

To be cool? Nirvana, REM, Green Day, and Weird Al have all pulled this
crap, too. And Marilyn Manson did worse - they made the "Antichrist
Superstar" CD 99 tracks just to be a bunch of wankers.

Too mainstream to hit the KUCI charts - it debuted on Billboard's album
chart at number 14 with 50,000 sales its first week out. I love that
song "Block Rockin' Beats" from them.
And I'm thinking about buying "The Saint" soundtrack, as per Tim's
recommendation. Darn, I've been bit by the techno bug.

This is a great album, plus it was the first concert Rohit ever went to.
It's priced nicely, too, $7 new at Tower. Check out the song "never say
never".
> 26. Ani Difraco-Living In Clip-Righteous Babe
Her first live album!! This CD rules... KCRW played it one morning.
I'm buying it the next time I'm at the CD store.
I also still recommend Ben Folds Five's "Whatever and Ever Amen".
