I thought it was really average, but agree that it could be more
effective in a club, especially when mixed with something else. And I DO
like quite a bit of acid, thank you very much (the Kosmik Kommando LP is
ace, as is 808 States Newbuild LP)
As for who did it, one of the tracks off the 7" sounds like something
off the Cylob 12" (a long droning noise which changes a bit), so maybe
some of it is by Chris Jeffs (also of Kinesthesia). The last one (really
short) on the 12" sounds like Aphex, and the rest might well be Kosmik
Kommie!
Speaking of which, has anyone else heard Mike Dreds 'Beyond the Box' -
pretty wicked I thought...

I haven't heard any of their stuff as Jak n Stepper, but the Clatterbox
stuff I though was pretty good, but tends to grate after a few listens. I
loved The Horns 'Villager' 12" though...

One of them is, and the other is The Horn!

The Horn is a bit more groove oriented and the tracks are a bit longer
than Clatterbox. Still a good use of brashy drums and fizzy noises though.

A joke, yes? But what a team it would be.....
Also, is it on doublepack import at an inflated cost of about 13 quid?
I though so....

Haven't seen it yet, but want it badly. Must be pretty limited vinyl...
