I totally respect John McEntire, and have really enjoyed some of the records he's produced, but man is this one tight, controlled digitally- worked record. It feels like everything was labored over quite a bit, I guess in my opinion sort of stiff and sterile. Then again, I listen to Kraftwerk a lot too. Recorded at Soma Electronic Music Studio in Chicago. (www.thrilljockey.com)

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart
by John Baccigaluppi
OK, so this isn't a CD, but rather a documentary film about making a CD, this year's excellent Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Chicago's Wilco. About a third of the film is studio scenes in the band's loft...
