Yes. While I'm not sure I know what _was_ the last thing Nettwerk released, since I haven't heard from them in a long time, this album is recommendable for its experimentalness. There are two versions of it, one has like 3 more tracks on it, I believe. This album took a _long_ time to grow on me but it's something that somehow seems to fill a gap. -Horsepower -lammers@tc.msu.edu
