right.. i've just been listening to a good bit of stuff the last day or two trying to figure out what artists are forward thinking and unfortunatly i couldnt pick out any one in perticular BUT i found myself picking out single tracks rather than artists so heres my "forward thinking" trax.

1. glenn wilson - the return - planet rhythm (i love the abstratness of it)
2. sebastian marx - no lyricz - open source (the sounds are so differant to anything else at the moment
3. glenn wilson - salvation - arms (i choose this as i think its the best arms release and it really brought about a change in wilson's sound IMO)
4. davethedrummer - hotwire - infectious USA (totally took the acid sound in a new direction and im still not sure if it was even meant to be acid!!)


some will probably argue with these choices as they're very 4/4 but for me these have been the most forward thinking releases in the past year.
