Yes! I remember how confusing "Body and Soul"'s funky minimalism was when it first came out, especially after the lush and rather poppy "Groovy Laidback and Nasty", but in retrospect it was a rather historic album. Kirk's sense of rhythm is just awesome. PS - this is full-on idm territory, not some loser industro-head waxing about yesteryear's glory days (although I do wonder about that sometimes :-) AD
