More like Wagon Christ, then? As much as I like the Plug stuff, it was the genius of "Throbbing Pouch" that initially won me over and still endears me to this day. Easily my fave cd of 95. I don't hear the WG moniker bandied about as much and I wonder if that alias/approach to music is no more (granted, his stylee is unmistakeable, I mean the more downbeat, funky stuff).

Isn't some of this previously release material? Peace. James

I got it! International air is not the title - it's the prefix to James Lavelle's job title "International A&R". I don't know what the title is. Beautiful sleeve, although (like most MoWax packaging - why is this!?) kind of difficult to store, open, and use. Musically, it's okay, I guess. Not much like plug, though. Much less crazy, more regular beats, lusher textures and lots o' synths. Very pretty and laid back. Jazz samples here and there. Track Titles: a polished solid radart frogs belly -CF

Well, this is _A Polished Solid_, and EP for Mo'Wax from 95. I'm looking for information on the new EP slated for release in late May. Michael's source incorrectly labeled _A Polished Solid_ as _International Air_ (MW035). Whew! Trainspotting pays off! Incidentally, Gonzi features 'radart' in his real audio show, and i have a sample of 'frogsbelly' at phat luke. nightmare.
