Nice list
You forgot Funker Vogt

Idlewild/RP
interpol/TOTBL
The Chams/TNEN
Curve/Gift
Chillies/BTW

all sorts of stuff "rocked my world" for short periods of time, but probably the only two bands that have most consistently rocked it this year have been the chameleons and the sisters.

ok, so neither of them are new, but the latest chams lp is a corker, and the sisters never fail to make me feel all lovely inside!

apart from that, i've only been intermittently impessed by stuff from the newer bands around. no lasting appeal i'm afraid

...Project Pitchfork, the Chams, and *Puressence* (thanks, Quiffy!!! ) - w00tw00t!!!

Waiting For A Miracle/Sleep No More/Fiction[Comsat Angels]
Danse Macabre[The Faint]
Open Day At The Hatefest/Gift/New Adventures Of[Curve]
Read And Burn 1 & 2[Wire]

Too Dark Park/Singles Collect[Skinny Puppy]
