I have not heard Tango 'n Vectif or Bluff Limbo or Makes a Racket :( Besides Urmur Bile and Groovybeat, I have heard only In Pine Effect, which is good, and Spatula Freak, which I didn't like as much.. So, although I still can't see why some people would dislike the 2 albums I own (UB and DIEG), I guess I need to hear some of his earlier stuff ;] ... grav
