Damn straight... like that massive breakdown about 2/3 of the way through
"Beatbox" -- I still get shivers whenever I hear it. And I have to think
that the footsteps-as-percussion in Global Communication's "Gamma Phase"
is an homage to a similar bit that shows up in that ambient suite on side

PS: Bleep fans should check out the "Cowboyphunk" single from
Hardtrax on Probe...
