I bought Micro-phonies on CD simply because I wanted a copy of "Sensoria" on CD. I'm completely happy with the rest of the disc as well. Damn, this is prompting me to pull it out and give it a few listens... Sensoria is a classic, if you were going to clubs in the '80s that played industrial dance music you've probably heard it. Nice bass with classic CV lyrics and synth work. I wouldn't really liken it to much Warp stuff, though. If you don't like Mallinder, don't get it. "Jiggle up, Jiggle down..." Ahhhh the memories. :-) Later, -H-
