Well I guessed Mikko helped us a bit with this but can anyone give me some more info about this formation, because I don't know anything about them except that they used to be big, and that they came from Sweden. -----------

I don't care whether it supposed to be worse, less intelligent or whatever than "Chiastic Slide" -- to me it's a remarkable work and that's why I'm taping it for people, as well as playing it on my radio show...

I don't know about vinyl but it definitely works on CD. :)

Thanks for your offer, but people should turn to me instead since the CD defninitely sounds better than a taping of the broadcast would.

I just looked, and yes, in fact it has! Sorry folks, no tapes! ;) ------------

Seems cool, but how does it sound? ------------ Re: Dub and Dubber (was Re: (idm) Underworld Reviews) I agree that this is a great album, even better than "Second Toughest...". My favourite track is "Dirty Epic", it has a catchy chorus even though I don't understand the lyrics.

quoted 2 lines since it

>since it >wasn't the yellow vinyl, no sense in keeping it.

Yeah, I agree that music not on yellow vinyl isn't worth keeping. That might be why my record collection is pretty small at the moment. -----------

I agree, the sad thing is that old computer game samples are so wonderful but Richard destroys them by adding echo. And since drum & bass wasn't invented yet, the breakbeat is really repetitive too!

I'll sell my copy for $15, OK it's not very cheap but then shipping is steep over here. Mail me if you're interested. ------------

It might have been a short shot from Josh Wink's latest video ("Are You There?"), in which he DJ's with Plus 8 slipmats. ----------
