So, have you listened to it, or are you just responding to a one-sentence
PR statement? It's actually a pretty good comp -- though one of the tracks
(Youth "Half Moon") is pretty clearly asian/middle-eastern in inspiration
rather than andean (and, to us) the mu-ziq track is the biggest pile of
dung on this comp (throw away track) Has no correlation to the rest of the
music. Most likely it appears on this comp for Hype reasons than for
musical content.
