I've been a bit put off by them from the start. The track on "Excursions
In Ambience 1", with the bEAGLES sample from "One Of These Nights" was my
first exposure, and it left quite a bad taste. Using a bEAGLES sample was
bad enough, but then to crossfade over something out of key was
unconscionable - like fingers on a chalkboard. Nothing I've heard since
has changed my opinion.
There's just something a bid too middle-of-the-road about them...
Cheerfully yours
