This falls into the category however i haven't heard it yet, anyone have it
and care to comment on it?

On a (maybe not) related note there is a fairly new label in London called
Archive that i picked up some mindblowing stuff on. One of which was Degos
new project (oh my god!!!). I'll have to post some reviews about some new
stuff, i picked up a crate while i was travelling (this list doesn't really
touch upon most of the most recent purchases). For those interested, my top
picks for record stores... 'Release the Groove' wins hands down in London,
'Rush Hour' was the place to be in Amsterdam., and in Berlin all the goods
were at 'Soultrade'.

I would recommend the following:

*Kruder & Dorfmeister "Sessions" - disc 2 of this is my all time favourite
CD and a downtempo masterwork IMHO

*Thievery Corporation "Abductions & Reconstructions"

*Peace Orchestra "Peace Orchestra"

All should be easy to get and you can listen to tracks on line at Amazon
etc.
