heh heh nice one. I bought this 4 weeks ago (lucky promo picker) and I realise
I have only listened to it about 3 times - time flys and I've bought a small
lifetime's worth since then. So funky, so laid back, is what I remember.

Certainly is. Lot's of Aphex/Mu-Ziq'y sounds in the tougher tracks, and a wide
variety of moods, Don't know much about him except that I had heard of him
before. I have one other track by him on the "Modulation & Transformation"
comp. (also on Mille Plateux I think)
an aside, did anyone buy Leftfields "Original". A varied 4-tracker if ever I
heard one. The LP track is OK dub/tr!ph*p with a song, but the slightly faster
"Original Jam" is a real killer. Also it clocks in at a really funky c125 bpm
if played at 45-8 and works well with the Jedi Knights "May the funk be with
you"! The other 2 tracks are a 140bpm prog/house/techno stormer, and a strictly
ambient version of "original"
Picked up the Neds atomic Dustbin/Black Dog/Beaumont Hannant CD for 99p -
woah,strange stuff. I like Beaumont's "Just together" mix best - it's also on a
12" it appears, but that was more expensive. I don't know how to describe it
really. IDM, funk and noise in the melting pot. I wasn't blown away, but I want
to see as much experimental stuff like this as possible please!
