This is 27-year old Al Cowan's first domestic release through Ubiquity, and his second as TM Juke for Tru Thoughts. Seamlessly blending the dexterity and verbosity of traditional jazz with the cut 'n' paste sensibilities of hip-hop, TM Juke's productions resonate with crisp beats, earthy instrumentation, and spellbinding arrangements. For fans of Quantic, Mr. Scruff, Hot Chip, Shawn Lee, Alice Russell.

"What is music today? Is it still an essential form of art? Or is it now just another brand totally integrated in our surroundings? Do we still allow music to give us emotions or do we just want it to be acoustic wallpaper? Since 1997, F Communications has tried to answer these questions with the series of Megasoft Office albums. We still feel that the music we listen to in the F COM office creates a unique atmosphere and brings a permanent source of energy for your personal creativity. So like us, enjoy this fourth edition of Megasoft Office." Featuring: A Reminiscent Drive, Alexkid, Ready Made, Frederic Galliano, Nova Nova, Aqua Bassino, Fabrice Lig, Laurent Garnier, Jori Hulkkonen & Alexis Delano, Llorca, The Youngsters.

2005年发行的新专辑，有收录《MADRUGADA》等热评乐曲。

来自美国华盛顿的DJ Spooky有后现代哲学家DJ之称号，皆因他满肚子后现代哲学墨水，亦深諳Hip Hop及DJ文化，他将环境音乐（Ambient）与多种电子音乐如Breakbeat、Dub、Drum 'n' Bass等结合，独创新音乐品种Illbient，描述纽约市的病态精神面貌。
前卫爵士品牌Thirsty Ear策划了Blue Series，出版了一系列即兴爵士与电音交流的专辑。DJ Spooky的Optometry是其中一集。跟他的唱盘与混音器对战的是即兴爵士界赫赫有名的乐手，如大提琴手William Parker、钢琴家Matthew Shipp、色士风手Joe McPhee等。
DJ Spooky以剪贴及混音技巧重构上述爵士乐手预录的演奏声带，使原本已经很不妥协的即兴音乐，推向更高的层次。后现代DJ文化如何结合上即兴爵士乐？Optometry是最佳答案。

忘れもしないあの衝撃よ、再び…！インディペンデント・ヒップホップ・シーンを根幹から激震させた1stアルバム「Metaphorical Music」から早や2年。トラックメイカー、Nujabesによる待望の2ndアルバムがリリース！音楽の持つ普遍性を踏襲しつつも、一層の進化/深化を遂げたNujabes第2章。研ぎ澄まされたメロディアスな旋律が聴き手の様々な感情を呼び起こし、フィジカルさとヴァリエイションを増したビートがその感情に躍動感を注入。ダンス/クラブ・ミュージックという言葉ではもはや形容しきれないほどの完成度を持つ驚異的な楽曲群。今作でも5曲に、Pase Rock（Five Deez）、Shing02、Cise Starr、AKIN、そしてTerry Calierと、全く隙のない豪華ヴォーカリスト達をフィーチャー。2005年最後にして最大の話題作が遂にここに誕生！

Thievery Corporation returns with their sixth original studio album Culture of Fear! Following up their incendiary and bombastic call to arms Radio Retaliation from 2008, this time around Eric Hilton and Rob Garza craft a simmering and hazy collection of atmospheric gems that recalls their early production work but reflects a thoroughly contemporary zeitgeist of socio-political angst and unease.
Utilizing a team of skilled session players from their acclaimed live show and beyond, Culture of Fear finds the duo easing into expansive multipart space-jams like "Tower Seven" and jazzy instrumental b-boy breaks like "Light Flares." Not only are usual suspects like multilingual chanteuse Lou Lou and dancehall toaster Sleepy Wonder back to lend their haunting vocals, but several new contributors also join the Corporation.
Renowned hip-hop MC Mr. Lif blazes the microphone on the title track "Culture of Fear" with a scathing flow that aims to uplift and enlighten as it does burn down babylon! Rising star Ras Puma also drops mystic incantations on "False Flag Dub" and the slow burning roots reggae throwback "Overstand." It's not all fire and brimstone however, as Shana Halligan of Bitter:Sweet coos sultrily over booming tribal rhythms on "Is it Over?", and newcomer Kota lends angelic and sprightly verses on album closer "Free."
