I quite like the new Photek. I will say that I really don't dig on the
"if that don't make you happy" track. The vocals seem out of
place.....this really isn't the case for the other vocal cuts though.
I think that what he does with the context of the 4 on the
floor rythm is really cool and he still maintains elements of his
sound. Its not Modus Operundi, but I don't think artists should
be forced to make the same record over and over.
