i really like the marion cd.
remember the tracks date back to 95 or 96. only a couple are new.
i think the beat programmming and drum sounds are brilliant.
\sometimes the melodies get too sunk in the mix.
but all in all, i thought this was a very good collection from his demon e.p.'s.
and its nice to have some of this stuff on cd too.
one of the better releases of the year.
IMO.
later,
