Goblin Shaman-Sound,Space,Tits & Turntables
Also released in 2011 "Sound,Space,Tits & Turntables" contains 23 instrumentals . Everything MPC crafted - Jake went trough the record collection of his local public library . Its really something for record collection geeks who can start arguments about origins of a 6 second pitched vocal cut .

Acid Druid - Loon Of The Crescent Moon & To Say What Cant Be Said
Funky breaks , nice selection of samples and everything wrapped in acid lines .
"Loon Of The Crescent Moon" is great for afternoon walks or vegan bbq raves . Loaded with quotes and samples , funny and provokative . "Mead Odyssey" brings ravestabs and funky congas which make you want to shake it . Who likes acid and breakbeats -- go for it .
If it feels like " To Say What Cant Be Said " just go for a hike on " Taranaki Mountain "
or say it like marv dickerson :
ugh, i feel like throwing up. this is fucking horrible...what a shitty 303 line...no soul just negative vibes
Thanks marv

Acid Druid - Through You Nature Becomes Aware Of Itself
This one moves a little bit more into trancemusic like sequences and gives another approach towards the use of acid .
Still number one chartbreaker like "Emerald Forest Of The Gnomes" make it a great gift for any colleague who leaves your company because of burnout .
