ordered some CD's - first time in maybe a couple decades+

Yep. Music CD's.

I had a burned CD in my car that I found from a stack of discs I had in a previous car.. played it - wow - what is this?? So good! played it until the disc broke lol I think it delamed inside. But before it did I Shazam'd it to find out what it was and why it was So Good.. "It's All Gone Pete Tong," soundtrack!! Aaaaah, no wonder it's a m a z i n g ! Heh. So, since no one has optical drives and cd burners anymore, I ordered the real version - well - A version on discs, anyways. The comments on amazon say it's not a true CD but a copyright protected disc that can't be copied - oh well, whatever, I don't have an optical drive or burner anymore anyways so whatever. Only downside is that it comes on 2 discs so I'll have to pop one out and swap to the other vs. continuous play in my car. Meh, not so bad I suppose.

And while I was at it I Also ordered up another 2 disc soundtrack from the movie Baby Driver -> I've only seen the movie once, but I do recall that the soundtrack was Awesome. Looking forward to that one, too. Quite pricey, but whatever. Could have got a used copy for half price, buuuut apparently the brand new version Also comes with a digital download link sooo maybe I'll use that. That and why risk that a used disc doesn't play?

Annnnd a new 5" stubby car antenna that'll fit under the cargo box I added to the roof of my car. Brand new speakers all around a few months ago, and I almost always listen to FM radio, so having an antenna is critical. Splurged on the priciest one from amazon's results because the receiver is 100% copper & apparently twice as good as aluminmum and 5x as good as steel.

Gonna be nice to have some new driving music! Even nicer if they Both come with digital download capability & then I can add them to my phone (which has ~no music on it) & then link it to the motorcycle helmet radio system I plan on buying so I can hear these soundtracks while on my bike, too. And if not, meh, FM radio it is.

Interesting looking track list. Seems to be mostly dance / electronica but then there's also AYWKUBTTOD and The Beta Band, who don't fit into that category at all.

My favourite CD puchase of recent times has been "Drum and Bass Sessions".

Amazon linky

Disc 1 is okay, Disc 2 however has some amazing tracks on it which aren't available anywhere else.

Track list on which?

The first movie is about an Ibiza DJ who loses his hearing and has to relearn how to DJ as a deaf man. Amazing movie!! Also, I saw him perform at a local club a few years ago. So, of course the soundtrack is pretty much all edm.

The second movie is about a getaway driver for robberies.. more recent movie, very cool soundtrack, should be great driving music. I only listen to cd's in my car, so seemed like a really good fit to own. Plus I remember being very impressed by the soundtrack when I watched the movie.



Drum & Bass CD - wouldn't know what to expect listening to something like that. Drums and.. bass guitar? Not a genre I'm familiar with at all. Probably sounds good, though.

I love CDs. The last time I ordered some was 7 years ago.

Ah, I meant on the All Gone Pete Tong soundtrack. And You Will Know Us... are alternative / math rock / post rock and the Beta Band are Scottish melancholy indie legends. Whereas I'd guessed the majority was EDM as that fits the movie title.

Drum'n'bass was an extension of hardcore / rave, but faster (about 165 bpm), less gimmicky, more hypnotic. There were various shades, from jazz-tinged through to industrial. The strongest sub-group was reggae and dub-influenced and eventually broke away as "jungle".
