You gotta be a fuckin' Lunatic to turn a sample of the FAT BOY's
Human Beat Box into a jungle track. I always laughed at that fat ass, but
he was dope 15 years ago and still is in the 9 7.

That that track is dope as hell, and the rest of the album is pretty ace
im my opinion, but I can't help but wonder aren't any of you at least a
little bummed that in a lot of way Lunatic Harness is a total Tom J
rip off?!?
I mean the Fatboys track my Muziq is a *total* rip off of TJ's "Happy
Little Wilberforce" track. Totally. TJ sampled that exact Human Beat Box
bar (if you can call it that) long ago and gave it similar
treatments/tweaks. Of course we all know that everyone samples from
similar sources in IDM, but especially since I group MP in the same camp
as TJ in terms of avant garde/weird IDM, I just can't get over *how much*
this track is not just sort of like TJ's style (as is most of the
breakbeat workouts on Harness), it's above and beyond similar. If I
were TJ, I'd be like "Hey Mike, you copycat mofo!"
ANyone agree?
Waiting for the Photek full length to give me a new dnb perspective,
