Although not everyone on the list seemed overjoyed with this release,
personally I think it's the best thing Mike P. has done since his first
two RePHLeX records (I like it better than most of Urmur Bile as well).
A brilliant combination of jazz and electronica with a smattering of
hip-hop thrown in for good mesure (nice 303 work too). Much more fully
realized than the Jake Slazenger releases I thought, which seemed a bit
watered down. The Gary M. record has the same sort of freshness (no pun
intended) and playful experimentation that has been lacking in mike's
output of late with the exception of the new one. The best comparison I
think would be to the Lisa Carbon Trio. Be sure to get the limited viynl
with the bonus 7', as it has a great house track not included on the CD.
