I second the recommendation, although a bit of a slow start. Other stuff worth looking at: - St Germain : Boulevard, funk/house/soul/etc soup, very good - Nav Katze : The famous Jap ep is now on Crammed disc - Jungle Book : incredible intelligent jungle compilation (get this) - Philadelphia Blunz(sp?): wonderfull trip-hop comp, one of the best I've heard in ages. - Tournsel's new one : ambient-techno with touches of rap; odd but good !!! That's all for now. Mohsen

Obviously you mean Tournesol's "Moonfunk"; in which case I beg to differ. I appreciate when artists change between releases, but only when the result is still cool :-) In Tournesol's case, they went from putting out one of the most unique albums I've ever heard ("Kokotsu") to this newie thing with Panasonic rapping on 2 or 3 tracks (AIEEEE!! If I wanted to hear Rap, I'd go pull out "Fear of a Black Planet") and the rest of it contains a few cool bits, but a lot of semi-aimless ambient noodling. If it doesn't improve substantially with subsequent listens, it goes in the throw-back pile. Color me disappointed. - Greg
