I have to agree with Rob on this one. I think Jake Mandell's
earlier works are far superior to his most recent album. I
actually posted a particularly harsh review of it to this list
a month or two back. But releases like Quandon Current,
Parallel Processes, and his Kodama label releases are
top-shelf.
