hmm - i love this album - even though the cover is really ugly. It's been licensed to Streetbeat ( http://www.streetbeatrecords.com )and now has a US domestic release - after i'd been trying to find it for the last 4 months... what's it like? well track 12 sums it up pretty well - this is made up of a loop from "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" ( which i'd have thought everyone on the list should own ;-) and what sounds like the theme from Twin Peaks. It sounds gorgeous. The whole album is really funky - feels quite laidback - even though several of the tracks are pretty fast - quite poppy - several of the tracks have vocals (vocodered), it's all melodic. Pretty eclectic set of stuff - a bit of jungle, some house, some funk, some electro, some trip hop ( i hate that term ). Lots of analogue squelch
