Of the uk garage coming out at the time, Mj Coles album 'Sincere' was probably one of the most impressively produced. For me, it was the indication after a number of years that some serious production was getting thought about in uk garage, like the evolution jungle went through many moons ago. Doesn't stop people whacking out any old shite at the moment and watching it sell, but there you go. The introductory track has lovely nubreaksy bassline and rattle and there are a couple of other good tracks which have been released on single. There is a lot of cheesy vocal stuff that doesn't really rock my boat, but for the good tracks, it can be quite groovy. I wouldn't take the jazzanova remix to be particularly indicative of mj's sound, by the way. Bye then, Tom. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
