dilvie got me to add knobtweakers.net to my RSS feeds a while ago. Admittedly I usually don't listen to it (I need some good podcast software but that's another post). But the other day I did listen to the Enicma song Lost in an Unfriendly World, and I loved it. So I decided to see what else I might have missed and started digging around the site.

I downloaded the Knobtweakers Best of 2005 Compilation and listened to it today. There's some great stuff in there. Here's what I particularly liked.

• Goof by Binaerpilot is absolutely delightful. This is the epitome of what makes electronic music cool. This is the kind of music I dream of making.
• Count to Six by I Am Robot and Proud is cute and fun. Hippity Hop!
• Nerds, Inc. by Bliss is both enjoyable and hilarious.
• The Young Punx' remix of Madonna's Dance with Someone Else makes me laugh.
• Clear Light by K-Oscillate is a neat synth world sound that holds my interest and exhibits some very interesting synth as well as very analog vocals.
• The Young Punx do it again with an fascinating and fun remix of 60's bossa nova by John B: Drum and Bacharach.

Also deserving of honorable mention:

• For a Day by Le Zero
• Digital Bliss by Underground Bass Masters

Almost all of the songs are right up my alley, but those are the ones that really stuck out at me after the first listen.

Oh, and while I'm on the subject, you ought to check out Computerville by Lunar Shuttle Disaster which is an excellent and fun piece made in Linux. Enjoy!
