I heartily agree, not to talk about the t**p h*p :)

Don't know about the gangsta rap, but this record was a real delight, although not as experimental as Mo'Wax stuff. I especially liked Grassy Knoll's 'Conversations With Julian Dexter' (kicking!), Skylab's 'Seashell' ("I put a seashell to my ear and it all comes back..."), and the 'Tempest Dub' track. And of course, 'Ode to the Blunt' :)

Yeah, this one should be part of any decent record collection. If you don't have it yet, your shame :)

Well, I agree, although IMHO the last two tracks were not so bad actually...

Wow, brings me back memories... But is it IDM? ;) Just give me Dave Lee Roth over Sammy Hagar anyday... Oops, off the topic again. By the way, what's the word on Palm Skin Productions' 'The Beast' - is it out yet, or have I just missed it? Furthermore, how about those U.N.K.L.E. mixes for Massive's 'Karmacoma'?
