I'm not really into Tango or In Pine. My fave is "Bluff Limbo." I think
there is alot more diverse tracks on there than any of Mike's stuff I've
ever heard. I would suggest it over any of his other works. I haven't
heard anyone say they really liked "Bluff Limbo". Why not?

Here comes the flame:
You must have shit in your ears. You didn't like "Old Fun #1"? God, that
track really has good progression. The opening double bass and then the
distorted hi hats. It all really makes me shiver. How about "Funky
Pipecleaner"? Once again, this track really isn't the noise fest you claim
the album to be. You probably only listened to this album once and forgot
about the good tracks. You must only remember tracks like "Mr. Angry" or
"Within a Sound" which all are noisey. I'm glad a tone deaf person like
you gave this away to someone who probably knows more about actually
listening to albums than you. What the hell do you even listen to?

Once again, my personal fave is "Bluff Limbo", also "Salsa With Mesquite"
is good as well. Avoid "Urmer Bile Trax" at all costs. I think another
reader wrote he didn't like some Jake Slazenger stuff, so I'd skip that.
