I don't agree! I still love that album - palette of sounds very large in part due to Jamie Muir ('Percussion and Allsorts') who went on to become a monk. Exiles is wondrous, Talking Drum - all of them! A friend just gave me a KC compilation called 'A Beginners Guide to the ProjeKcts' which is pretty fascinating - I'd stopped following them after Three of a Perfect Pair, but think I'll have to pick up the thread again. All the best, Colin. np Miles Davis - Pangaea (Mastersound edition)
