The last paragraph of a review of the Richard D. James Album, found on MTV's
web site:
"Playful? In a childish way. Listening, you can picture Richard snickering
behind his sampler, a brilliant little boy who has been naughty but enjoyed
it too much to stop. Sure, his fervent fans will salivate over the set,
arguing on the Intelligent Dance Music mailing list whether "Milkman" should
be played at 33 rpm ("funky") or 45 rpm ("wicked off-kilter techno"). But
for the rest of us, well, the benchmark is higher. The choices for inventive
electronica are multiplying. So c'mon little Richard... get growing."
a nervous "Ha!",
