Evening all – near-Chengdu based teacher here (my first post) – pleased to find this forum and thread!
I see Shaking the Habitual is now streamable at http://theknife.net – slowly stuttering through it on my slow connection, despite the hype, so far it sounds like their least accessible album yet.
Also recommend Bonobo’s new LP The North Borders which was released the other day – http://ninjatune.net/release/bonobo/the-north-borders.
I appreciate being directed to the shop near the Leg and Whistle – picked up a Public Image and a Japan CD (bit of a New Wave / 80s fan) plus Miss Kittin’s first album for less than 50 Kwai.
