On the American release tip, don't hold your breath. I don't have any inside skinny on what's going to happen, just instinct. It might come out in a few months, maybe. Maybe. As for whether or not the import's worth the $? Suffice it to say that it's a real departure from the previous stuff (except for one standout cut): i.e. wave terminal goodbye to DJ Jimmy Jay and the Serge Gainsbourg sampleriffing and say a serious non-stop hello to Zdar and Boom Bass of La Funk Mob -- these two hijacked Solaar completely, and most of the trax really sound as though our favorite MC is trapped inside a soundscape he can't really mesh with on a funky level no matter how hard he tries. Most of it's O.K. One track blows the roof off in that subtle Solaar stylee. hope this helps =-=-=-=signifier over signified signing off=-=-=-=
