I've never heard anything in the Trancemaster series, but I would like to recommend the almighty Portishead record to you all. Just give it a listen next time you're at the rekkid store. "It Could Be Sweet". Greg writes:

A very strong statement. I think the problem is that he hasn't /heard/ it. I'm not about to preach Portishead as the next big thing; there are too many big things out there to pick just one, IMO. But it's a very fine record. It's got a good beat and I can bug out to it. Sounds GREAT on a system. Brad.
