I bought this a few weeks ago but out of a pile of stuff I only sort of gave it a quick listen .Theres three tracks on it and the other two are good but "lunar funk" is breathtaking, I felt compelled to tell someone. Defies words but try stop/starty beats at a techno pace, runs through a range of moods using subtle and not so subtle melodies and an array of melting strings. The 303 near the start gives the impression that its going to be an acid stomper but the silver lad is just thrown into a corner as the more heart-touching sounds take over. Maas + Jamie Read + Scot hardkiss having a scrap and then deciding to play with each other. Definitely the best purchase of '98. John
