~~Tupilaq "Married the Dragon"~~ - This track appears on the compilation The Knights Who Say Dot from the Swedish label Dot. The album was one of my all-time favorite finds. When it was first released I figured I wouldn't be able to find it stateside at a reasonable price. But I was in England that year (1997), and spent a day in London -- the majority of that day wandering the shops of Camden. Found the CD in Rhythm Records for 8 £. The album is a fantastic little ride through melodic techno, electronic funk, and wacky drum 'n bass. Lots of fun! Out of print.

~~Wire "Dot Dash"~~ - Wire is one of those bands I really should've gotten into long before last year. But, for whatever reason, they escaped me and I just recently discovered their music starting with their debut album Pink Flag which has a couple extra songs (including this track) on the CD release. I think this could be my favorite song of theirs. It's pure post-punk poppy perfection. Buy It.
