yep. ive got trainer, which is their debut mbuki mvuki (or something to that effect. and very rare it is too, normally) and collected vintage trax as plaid, balil, black dog etc. its trax date from 1989 to 95. the older material is simple, considered, well put together 'intelligent techno' (bah. what a crap label) well the first trax are kind of 'intelligent hardcore', if you will. anyway theres the odd nice synth line here or there, a quirky beat and a dash of offbeat samples (scoobs in columbia) all in all, rather nice. the second disk is newer (92 - 95ish) stuff. initially sort of dense and opaque, but then you get into plaids mindset, where many complex layers interweave with equal prominence, and you get it! rah. this leads to some cracking material (plaid?...;), whirling of spirits is a great peice of music, angry dolphins mutated jungle is notable, too. well anyway if you are looking to buy, id recommend this is the one to get. hope that helps -thomas ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
