I agree that the Musik album has been way overrated. It has about 3 good
tracks. The rest is pretty much crap. However not all he does is bad. I enjoy
about 3/4 of the Fuse album...some excellent material on this....but didn't
like the Sheet One album.. Definately NOT one of the top 50 techno albums of
all time...(IMHO)..Fuse is much better.
