This is one of those albums that I pick up and look at every time I'm in the store. I listened to a lot of it instore once, and it reminded me of Vibert's big Soup, except much better—a mix of abstract hiphop, space dub, weirdness, a killer DnB track or two, and other stuff. I later heard some of the album again at a lower volume and wasn't as impressed, so I don't know quite what to think. I've heard decent things about Genetic flaw, but also that it's weird for the sake of being weird. Also heard that his singles are better than his albums—he has tracks on a lot of the Liquid Sky/Home Entertainment comps Info on Wally: Yeah, he's part of the NYC scene, originally from Russia or something. Sort of a crossover between the more ambient/illbient stuff-dub, etc., and the jungle scene. He often tagteams with Swingsett (David Winsett I think). Very good live—they'll mix jungle with Send in the Clowns, and do other dancefloor stoppers, which often relegates them to the back room where people aren't dancing. IMO the most interesting dance-oriented djs in the Liquid Sky/HomeEntertainment scene. They have a track on deep Concentration on OM, believe it's called Centurion Space Bass or something. On a related note, has anyone heard the new Soulslinger remix album? Wally does a mix or 2, as does 1.8.7. and other NYCers. I wanted to buy the Soulslinger album but I heard bad things about it—do the remixes cut out the crap? Sam
