It was made at around a similar time to Tango so it sounds like some of his
earlier style of work. A lot of people prefer this style to the newer stuff he
does or the Jake Slazenger / Gary Moscheles releases; it could be because he
wasn't signed to a major label then and there were less pressures to release
work so the work he did was more from the heart. Bluff Limbo is a double LP or
double CD with identical track listings, unlike Tango. I think Mike said in an
interview that the album was one of his personal favourites.
Conclusion: If you liked Tango N' Vectif, buy Bluff Limbo immediately. It's an
electronic masterpiece.
