count me as a fan as well. I really dig his King of the Street 10 inch as
well as the destroyer. Not to mention Low on Ice, and Generation Star wars.
I was not so impressed with Two Space Cowboys on a bad trip, his
collaboration with Ian Pooley probably due to the housey 4 on the floor

of the speaker and hoover a couple of seconds and then zip back in.
