You're right there, but I love this record -- lots of weird sampled bits and a crazy delivery style I just love. Fearing the Off-Topic Beatdown, I'll keep this short: for a couple of other Latin-tronic fusions I love, check out Cafe Tacuba (Reves/Yosoy, a 2-CD set, with one disc experimental and one traditional) or the third album by Gilberto Gil from 1969 (lots of tape-music experimentation). Or better yet, how about the new Up, Bustle & Out? It was actually recorded in Havana and features an accompanying book (150 pages!) by Rupert Mould. Admittedly, though, it's not quite a fusion -- it has a couple trip-hop tracks, then a Latin track, etc. .John. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
