It seems to me that Jenkinson loves the tried-and-true Amen, but just cuts
it to ribbons on almost every track. Parkes is more of a DIY-breaks kind
of guy, and crafts his own loops, which might account for the lack of
fullness (Amen break is *very* busy, while PhotekBeats seem to "breathe"
more to me). Plus, I think Parke's just enjoys making very metallic,
techno-influenced (check the kick-drum on "UFO") rhythms, which could come
aross as thin-sounding or tinny when compared with the non-stop bustle of
the Amen.

The one with all the sampled jazz hits, right? I thought this cut was
mindblowing when I heard it, but you're right that the other three are a
bit too similar to his recent output (if we are indeed talking about the
same track ;) ).
