play the b-side then... the vocals are missing except for a couple spots. i like this release too. especially the hi-hat use is what distinguishes *these* beats (which are more reggae than anything they did before (i don't have ms 1 + 2 though)) from house beats. judging from the design, burial mix is a chain reaction sublabel. the house sublabel of maurizio is main street - three releases so far (i think), #3 also with tikiman and sounding quite similar to m6. when i heard about them releasing tracks with vocals, i was worried. thankfully, *i* like them.

quoted 4 lines I listened to this (CR 08) the other day and was vehemently repulsed.

played-out, rigid, funkless - ok, but synth masturbation? to me this record sounds *just like the other stuff*, only that it's faster and trancy. therefore, it seems to me, everyone hates it. they make a point here, and that's why i like it. i'm not a trance fan btw. sorry aboot no being able tae level any criticism agins these ;-) p.
