Just had a read through all these, played the songs and such and, having not heard a squeak from any of these lot previously, gotta say it was Redshape and Bodychoke who stood out the most for me. Loved the hypnotic beats on the former's tunes, and how they just kinda melted into the rest of the sonic picture. Bodychoke sound great as well - much more of a slap in the face, as you say, and it'd be interesting to hear for myself where the rest of the album goes considering your review. I liked the others, but Sofa don't sound like they peddle something I listen to as often as a lot of other music (I'm never really in that kinda mood often these days), and the Legion Of Green Men (I'm stealing that name if I ever start a band by the way) sound like something that takes more than one listen to sink in for me.
Good start to the list this - already at least two albums I should check out myself.
