Some Scientific Abstract Type Shit!
by 
ButterThumbz 
The title for this chart is taken from a Mo' Wax compilation from 1995, where I first encountered the work of DJ Shadow. Essentially, I've tried to avoid straight up club/dance records, and many sub-genres of house and techno, I'll save that for another time. This chart will consist of breaks, downtempo, big beat, trip-hop, drum n bass, left-field, underground, abstract, experimental and anything else I see fit to include. None of Shadow's stuff is featured here as I've leant towards lesser known releases in an attempt to shed light on some unsung heroes.

MadhattanJack 07/23/2026 20:46 in Release Day Eve“What July 24, 2026 releases are YOU... now, see that, I've already lost my train of thought. Obviously whenever there's a new Robyn Hitchcock studio album released, especially an "electric" one, the easy thing for me would be to say "nothing else matters dammit, this is the album!" or something…”

This is the most awesome thing I've seen so far. About half of these are my favorite albums or artists and the other half I like anyway or I really need to hear. This is awesome
