I have "If ya can't stand da beatz, git outta da kitchen" on Shadow; it's a double CD which features almost all ninja tune artists (funki porcini, 9 lazy 9, up bustle & out, dj food, herbalizer, coldcut) It features a few cool tracks (I especially like "it's a long road" by f.p.), but I seem to like the "original" ninja tune compilations better. If you're looking for similar stuff, you will definitely enjoy most of headz 2 b. A. -- Alessandro Bianchini bianchini@ibm.net +39 347 3738659 bianchin@librs6k.vatlib.it
