De La Soul- 3 Feet High and Rising
ahhh. This album sets the mood for the rest of the week.

Immortal Technique- The 3rd World
This guy is so pissed.

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band- Safe As Milk
My first listen to a Captain Beefheart album couldn't have gone any better.

Killing Joke - Killing Joke

Previewed tracks for this album and thought the beats were really ill, but the whole album just flows and is so cohesive from start to finish. Really really amazing glitchy beats.

anyway

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Underground (2007)

I've given Ariel Pink a hard time in the past, dismissing him as an R.Stevie Moore wannabe (minus the songwriting talent) and analogue hipster variously... but the last couple of months i dun a 180. He's not lacking in appeal or songwriting ability (quite the opposite), he's just remarkably inconsistent - all the albums i've heard are made up of unrealised or flawed experiments punctuated by nostalgic pop greats beamed through time on a dodgy transistor signal...
'Underground' is an exception, being the closest Ariel Pink gets to a great album that i have heard. It still has that untainted, un-produced ambience that attracts people to his music, it's just much more consistent. You'll still find yourself skipping a few tracks; but this is the point as Pink (a la the original home recordist RSM) is a warts-and-all, impulsive artist, opening up the recording process to us. And being near-improvised, resolutely demo-quality songwriting, the results are always going to be mixed; but when he hits his stride it's beautiful to behold.
Not for everybody, there are people that will be left scratching their heads and berating the aesthetics, hiss, compression... and to them i say: good, who needs ya

I haven't heard the Laugh comp, but have been meaning to. Not wanting to compare track listings, are all of the songs on it from other LPs? I like Night Time a lot, second favorite of the ones I've heard. I wish What's THIS For...! was a little better.

Yeah, Walking Wounded's a decent album. You're right that it's nowhere near as good as Temperamental though, especially with the latter having neat little cuts like Five Fathoms, Low Tide Of the Night and the Future Of the Future on it.
