I really enjoyed Vibert's track as well as Mr. Scruff's. My only other knowledge of Vibert are the Plug 1 + 2 EPs which I have. Not at all in the same vein. Has he done other stuff with melodic value like the Funkungfusion track?

Yes, he did. Look out for 'Big Soup' on Mo'Wax. There are also a lot of compilation tracks which you may like. For more info check the Luke Vibert discography at <http://www.brainwashed.com/vibert/>.

"Rock Critics" love to 'analize' lyrics. That's why most of them are at a loss when it comes to techno..they don't know what to say when there are no words.

tell me about it. i picked up (but didn't purchase) rolling stone the other day just to browse through it. the review of the ninja tune comp (funkungfusion) made me laugh out loud...the few times they've reviewed ninja tune releases, they spend half of the 100 words talking about coldcut and how they go way back to the 'paid in full' remix. yes, it's a groundbreaking remix. yup, coldcut's influential. and great. they only have one track on funkungfusion. and most people who are going to pick it up already know all that. so the guy spends the rest of the review (rightfully) praising the comp, but then bitches right at the end about how it's not continually mixed. and then gives it three stars. sheesh. no mention of the funki porcini, vibert, or mr scruff tracks, no attempt to give an overall 'feel' of the discs. ah, american press. blah. rob

Luke Vibert may not be instantly recognisable for his IDM roots and influences but he was given a large dosage of FUNK which many IDM peepz don't seem to have. I can't get enough of 'Thing Bounces Back' off of Wiers. He really has been on the scene from time ago. And his melodies are soooo sweet. jus my opinion -Ed np: Diskbootik - Sodium Aminate (from welcome to execrate)
