Designs & Mistakes : Animals on Wheels full-length, Ninja Tune 1997
People were very divided about this one at the time of its release :
some drill and bass tracks, some ambient-y quiet ones (like the
Soluble Ducks tracks included on FunKungFusion) and some misdirected
crap ones that force you to hit the 'skip' button. All round +-7/10.

His "Cujo" releases are coming out on Shadow Records, which is a
subsidiary of Ninja Tune. All excellent, solid stuff! Try Cujo's
Adventures in Foam full-length, or last year's excellent Bricolage
(Ninja Tune) and the recent release "Permutation" - which I can't
comment on, since it hasn't filtered down to me yet, but from all
accounts seems to be brilliant.

Under the "Woob" flag (Paul Frankland's alter ego) he is anything BUT
schizophrenic :-) Spaced airy ambient sound pastiches with snippets
of spoken word taken out of films etc. The best Woob (imo) would be
em:t's 1194 - - but it's *nothing* like his Journeyman output.
