Yes, and I love it. It's not all banging techno anthems - in fact hardly
any of it is. The first track, No Man's Land, is an atmospheric piece
evoking prison life, starting with church bells and someone being locked
up, lots of heartbeats and military drums, top-drawer stuff. I haven't
really got beyond this, not to be able to review, anyway, but one track
was co-written with Jah Wobble, and another has vocals by Sarah
Cracknell ( from St. Etienne). Most of it is quite mellow, and if someone
else doesn't beat me to it I may have a bash at reviewing it proper. This
is a threat, boys and girls, you'd better get your skates (and reviewing
hats) on :-)

I think I need to update my spellcheck - this one doesn't recognise
"techno".
