It's pretty much the same story. There's about 2 or 3 great tracks, a bundle of pretty ok tracks, and then a considerable amount of wanky rubbish. It's hard for me to say whether you should buy it or not. I feel a bit cheated that there's quite a bit of noisey nonsense on there, but at the same time the standout tracks, like the first few, or My Sound, are so good it's hard to dismiss it. While I'm here I'd also like a track ID please. A couple of months ago (a couple of weeks before the Budakhan Mindphone release) I heard a great Squarepusher track that I haven't heard anywhere else. I only have the DJs word that it was Squarepusher, but it definitely had his unmistakeable new style. It was more drum'n'bass-ish, with a couple of rewinds in the middle of the track. The most noticeable thing though was the quickfire mc-ing on it. What is this track, and why the hell wasn't it included on any of his recent releases? If anyone requests, I'll make a realaudio copy available (it'll be shit quality though). Eddie

that'll be his remix of east flatbush project - 'tried by 12' on ninja tune on the recent tj releases, i'd like to say that i really really like them - but not for the usual choice tracks like my sound and iambic 5 poetry, which i probably like the least out of all of them - i prefer the dark and dense ones, the less obvious stuff. does anyone have any info on the recording techniques? sounds to me like the whole thing was multitracked in pro tools and really messed around with afterwards (all the reverse cymbals suggest this) ...but i could be wrong of course - it wouldn't be the first time i've been surprised by how tj does his stuff - more power to him, can't wait to see his band live. <waves>

I'm pretty sure that you're referring to the squarpusher remix of "tried by 12" (east flatbush project). it's a cd or double 12" worth getting since it also has remixes by Ae, funkstorung, freeform, and 7 or 8 others. em. ----------
