You had me until you said digital! ;)
I am not sure which of these are available digitally but you should check out
(if you haven't already) the first Underground Anthems record on Sistrum. I
haven't heard everything on that label but it is my favorite so far. The new
one on Emphasis sounds excellent but I don't think it is out yet. Still
familiarizing myself with the older Aesthetic Audio releases although I picked
up Moments in Rhythm #2 in Detroit over the holidays and like it a lot.
Underground Quality has a lot of releases. I think CT Beat Down by Jus-Ed and
the Smallpeople release are very, very good. Altered Moods, Downbeat, Drumpoet
Community, Jersey Underground, and some of the Sushitech releases are in
similar vein.
Cheers,
John
