I <3 a lot of New Wave stuff, Thomas Dolby being chief among them (I'm going to feature an unlikely track of his in a future post...) The thing I love about a lot of key New Wave are the hooky melodies! SO CATCHY. @Amanda: I liked the earlier Autechre stuff more because it was melodic and warm; I wish they'd combine some of their glitchier work with those melodies, but to the present, I don't think that's happening convincingly. @Chris: "Climbatize" has some of the raddest conga-ish fills, laser stabs, and hypnotic bassline. Liam Howlett knows how to mix those separate hooks into a tasty stew! Juno Reactor have mostly been exceptional — didn't care overall for their newest album, but did admire how Ben Watkins & friends got into other styles (like mixing their earlier psytrance vibes with dubstep). Yeah, Equilibrium's music deserves wide release. I don't know if it *has* been, but it *should* be used in many more movie trailers. @Tenchi: I get memories of soft-shaded vector album covers!

Almost forgot Juno Reactor! "Conga Fury" from <i>The Animatrix</i> (as well as pretty much all their other stuff)! And as long as I've mentioned <i>The Matrix</i> (obliquely)... Massive Attack's "Dissolved Girl" Propellerheads' "Spybreak" (The <i>long</i> version!) BTW, I'm really bummed that an <i>Equilibrium</i> OST was never released. Oooh! Almost forgot Juno Reactor!

Also love La Tour's "Blue", which was used in the trailer for <i>Basic Instinct</i>. And then there's Digweed & Muir's music that was used in MTV's animated <i>Spider-Man</i> series.
