I quite like The Number of Magic. Is it just me or is Kirk playing a rather nicely treated guitar on the awesome "Lost Souls on Funk"? Got the new SANDOZ on now. It is very cool as usual; the weirdness is a little more pronounced in this one but it's not as harsh a Agents With Etc. It's probably one of the better things I've heard in a while. I _would_ say that tho' : I'm also one of the (few?) people who think "Every man got dreaming" is one his better works. Chris.Hilker wrote

Morning Star as lame dnb? hmm.. to me it seemed like a effective prefix for 70 odd minutes of bliss. D'n'b, jungle etc. can be a style an artist can suit his message to or it can be a style that can be suited to the message or artist... I think we went into this before, when Luke Vibert and Aphex were being defended from Simon Reynolds (love his Britpop rant). -- Chris Tourgelis
