Heads up to n5md fans : The new subLAD album is out and it's fine, fine stuff. I love their simultaneous mp3 + cd release strategy 'cause it suits my need for immediate gratification while making sure the hard-working artists get their dosh. I bought the whole album for $9.99 via Paypal, downloaded it at 200KB/sec, and have kept it in constant rotation since yesterday morning. There's echoes of the more sublime moments from recent Kettel and Secede output along with some darker not-to-be-trifled-with vibes to keep the heads nodding. At the moment I'm really digging the long ambient pieces 'rerum natura' and the closer 'embryonic again' but there's not a track that sounds out of place or less-than-immaculately polished.

So pick your poison, physical media or digital delivery, but drink up:
