how would you (IDM world) rate "tastes and textures vol 1"
vs. "t&t vol 2" and "texturology" (non-limited version)??

i, myself, think that hannant/brown collaboration in
general has been astoundingly fresh and innovative,
yet quite accessible. but i guess it remains a mystery
(to me) as to how much mr. brown influences the sound
of the hannant output. it seems that 'Outcast' stuff
appears far more emperimental (i.e. the 'over the edge mix'
of bjork's hyper-ballad) than stuff appearing under the
b.h. name alone. in short, i have nothing against their
collaborative efforts, and have nothing against mr. brown
personally, but could it be that because beaumont is such
a nice guy that maybe that mr. brown can have too much
influence at times? i.e. sounding more experimental?
not a downfall, i say! in fact, i wonder what might
beaumont sound without mr. brown? i see a small parallel
with speedy j's stuff (some of the slower, more atmospheric
moments of 'g-spot') only a little less speedy i suppose.
not that that's a bad thing, of course.
