Does it piss anyone else off when they hear a decent track but can't get a good 'grip' on the timing of it? A good example of what I mean is 'Maiden Voyage' by Global Communication. I think I've got the timing sorted (i.e. where the beginning of each bar is) until the Xylophone (?) type instrument starts and this ruins the track for me because I can't follow the beat. Has anyone else noticed this? Is this instrument meant to be at the beginning of each bar? Also, what's going on with LTJ Bukem's sets? When the beats kick in the treble is usually reduced and then returns to normal after about 3 seconds. Is this a result of a poor pressing or is it Danny on the EQ? And for my opinion on 'Feed me Weird Things', I rekon it's the shit, but I'm much more excited about the forthcoming work from Mike Paradinas. -Ed P.S. What has Luke Slater's 7th Plain been up to since the 'Shades Amaze concept EP'?
