While it has a certain amount of Vibert Flava, _Phat Lab. Nightmare_ is
a far cry [in term of genre] from Vibert's more recent stuff. Really long,
drawn out, cold analog spaciness. Three tracks stand out to me: Aerhaart; From
Within, which is a nice, pulsating techno track, Aerhaart; Barrier, which is the
only tune really capable of sticking to the label 'trip-hop' [filtered and
manipulated drum loops], and Panorak, some totally whacked abstract hip-hop.
Again, this sounds very little like LV's current recordings. In fact, in
interviews, Vibert dismisses PLN, stating that he did it for Rising High because
they thought he was an ambient artist + he needed to pay the bills.
In terms of Plug, actively seek the _Drum'n'Bass For Papa_ full length.
