Agreed. Especially 'Water Margin' (4)...

^^^^^^^^^^ Bollocks. 'Consciousness' is at least as experimental as all the PTK stuff. Listen to those beats and sounds! And a 90bpm headnodder ('Into The 90s') on a jungle EP is not exactly usual...
quoted 2 lines i've never seen them. There are some rumours he's also Aquarius on> i've never seen them. There are some rumours he's also Aquarius on > Looking good (or Good looking) but it sounds shite...
He *is* Aquarius. And he has also recorded as Sentinel for Basement, plus put stuff out on Certificate 18. The Aquarius stuff is worth checking out, although it's a bit more orthdox. Off the top of my head: Aquarius - Drift To The Centre (Looking Good 2) Aquarius - Dolphin Tune/Aquatic (Good Looking 9) Aquarius & Tayla - Bringing Me Down (Good Looking 13) All his pseudonyms were discussed on Breaks a while ago. If you like Photek, there's loads of others you should check out - Source Direct, Skanna (not the Rimbaud one), Certificate 18, Reinforced, J Majik/IR, Hidden Agenda to name a few. Do not underestimate the importance and brilliance of innovative jungle... :) Anyone got any news of the ART/Photek release? Changing the subject entirely: Just got Herbert - Part 3 (Phono). Only 500 in existence until the box set comes out. Definitely more floor- friendly and accessible than 2, but sheer brilliance all the same. Still after 'Radio', 'D is for Doctor'; and is Herbert - Part 1 worth hunting down... (btw: Herbert is the deep house/techno guise of Matt Herbert aka Wishmountain and Dr Rockit, all fucking amazing stuff) see ya ____________________________________________________ tom churchill e-mail: tom@chrchfam.demon.co.uk 'each new hour holds new chances for new beginnings' dj/musician/clubber/reviewer......scene but not herd ____________________________________________________
