yeah, i should have noted that i think he's getting much better. i do agree
about some of the earlier albums - there hasn't always been enough to keep
my attention (with the exception of the psycho on da bus album, with tony
allen). however this 12" is definitely recommended, and i think he's going
in an interesting direction. his set at sonar this summer was fantastic, and
i'm finding him spending more time on his voice -- which is quite soulful --
and less on his plugins. but thomas' points are duly noted.
