I just bought a ton of music:

Nude by VAST(what the hell, I've been listening a lot more to Music For People lately...)

2 AM Wakeup Call by Tweaker, an entire album about insomnia and dreams

Floodland by Sisters of Mercy

Mezzanine by Massive Attack

Deep Forest by Deep Forest

It's not that different from what we hear today from Fatboy Slim and Moby, except of course with Pygmies.

Cantata Mundi by Adiemus (remember the shout-out I gave to their other album, Songs of Sanctuary, lately?)

So, two re-buys of CDs I've owned for years but which have wandered away (the middle two), two albums being heavily compared to NIN's The Fragile (the first two), and two world / new age / whatever. I possibly shouldn't be spending the money, and my CD rack is so full that this will make it overflow and cause a storage crisis, but I so rarely get inspired to explore music that I thought I should take advantage of it. :)

Also, I just discovered pandora.com, which is bad because I have that nagging, tickling feeling that someone else has already posted about it and I forgot and now I'm being a dweeb by acting like I just heard of it. But... it's nifty. You can enter a song that you like, and it makes up a custom "radio station" of songs that are similar to that song in some really sophisticated ways. Give it a shot if you missed that earlier post by whoever already mentioned it.
