Loop Guru has put out (so far) nothing but recycled Deep Forest-style Easy-World-Beat ethnocrap. I don't detect a shred of understanding for the musical cultures he samples,just a shallow "oh, that'll be cool under my mainstream ambient beats!" It's pleasant listening, and very valuable for introducing your parents to the more interesting stuff in your library, but nothing more. Besides, isn't Waveform the Windham Hill of techno anyway? -Phil [----------] [---] [-----] [-----] [-----] [----------] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [----------] [----------] [---] [---] [----------] [----------] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [--------] [-----] [-----] [---] [-----] [----------] Home is where the stereo is!
