Agreed - nothing new here and very little to get excited about. I'd also like strangle those folks recommending the Earthrise Ninja 2 comp -- what a lousy piece of non-substantive crap. You'd think that with two discs, something on it would be good. IMO, there are few people doing this so-called jazzy trip-hop-ish style in the right way. Best to look under V for Vibert.
