Yep, it's phenomenal. The 1991 Reload tracks are bone-crunching Trance; full-on Aphex stylee, yet done 6 months to a year before "Digeridoo". If these suckers were really written/recorded in 1991 it's a wonder that they (as Reload) didn't become as famous as Richard did ... As for the more recent stuff, it's mostly great, too. The Link "Antacid" mix is amazing. I must find this single somehow ... I think, IMNSHO, that the Jedi Knights track is the weakest. I hate to be an Old Fart (again (-: ) and go against the grain, but all this back-to-cheesy-drumbeats-and-vocorders Electro revival bit has *got* to go (-: I'm into looking towards the future, not to regurgitating the past. I'm not nostalgic for Pop Locking and Break Dancing. I guess since I was already in my mid-20's when that stuff was going down, I couldn't relate ... ('Course, by 1982/1983 my tri-color "Black Power Edition" Puma Clydes were already 7+ years old ... you want *real* nostalgia? Tell me who Clyde was ... and Kent Williams, you keep quiet (-: ) - Greg

I first heard digeridoo back in the days of 5th form... which would make it erm... late 1990... the pair started off at the same point, richard had a head start in terms of equipment though...

It seems to be the Europeans that have kept things going over here... saw a couple of underground breakdance competitions last week on video - about 1 to 2 years old... there is another gathering soon I think - but again in Europe...

Just got the Theory of Evolution comp and Mu-Ziq vs the Auters. Both very cool. Well worth getting. Track 13 of the Theory of Evolution comp (Link - Amazon Amenity (Chameleon remix)) is surprisingly good. Is this what they call ambient jungle or something ?! Normally I stay well away from anything even remotely jungle tinged but this track is really good. I've also just spotted that Artcore compilation of Ambient Jungle - Is this worth gettings. Are the tracks as good as the one of Theory of Evo ... ??
