I agree with Aaron on this one. When I first put on this release, I
thought the background sounded familiar, and then I realized it was from
F242. It is a quite excellent 12" in itself, but for comparison's sake
I'd argue that the Plug 12"s are much more musical and intricately
programmed. There's a lot more going on (sample/sound
manipulation-wise) in the Plug releases than stringing together a bunch
of cheesy samples in an ironic fashion.
