One thing that I didn't mention is that, along with my newly rejuvenated PC, I now have high-speed internet access (yes, I've been on dial-up this whole time). So now I'm like a kid in a candy store, going apeshit with the music downloads.
Currently playing through my nice desktop speakers with big badass subwoofer: this road is glowing, a 3-song EP available for free download in Ogg Vorbis format. It offers a soothing array of synthesized pulses, clicks, and deep swirling textures -- damn fine stuff.
The hosting site is something called the Kahvi Collective, whose stated mission is "to gather and provide free electronic grooves". My hard drive may well fill up very quickly.
(Kudos to disquiet for the linkage.)
Addendum: Also of interest is mixoftheweek #239: Public Handshake -- 50 minutes of blippage and pulsating wierdness from the likes of Stereolab, Mouse on Mars, Boards of Canada, and others.

Welcome to the 21st century. The need for speed!
To this day I can't believe that the internet has flourished using only a 56k line.
It is painfully slow by comparison.
