It's probably been mentioned before but Vibert has all but disowned _Phat Lab_ - from what I remember from an interview he gave, he did _Phat_ mainly because Rising High asked him for a dark ambient album or something and he needed the cash (fair enough :). The breakbeat slant (whether tr*p-hop or Plug style drum'n'bass) seems to be his preferred musical slant. OnNow: The Herbert triple LP on Phono - warm house with a twist. || [CiM] || s.walley@uea.ac.uk || http://www.sys.uea.ac.uk/~u9323899/
