Get Heights of Abraham's 'Electric Hush', its tops. If they're cheap sell something and get 'em all, or alternatively, send 'em to me!!

S'alright. Sounded rather good at the time but has been superceded...

Uh-huhuuhu-uh-uh. I remember reading in the NME a while back that Global Goon sold more than the Richard D.James LP. Don't know how true it is though. As for RDJ LP I think its the best and most innvoative thing he's ever done. It sounds like a RDJ/Cylob/Squarepusher soundclash to me. Even a bit of Kosmik Kommie and the other Rephlex influences in there too - easy listening, hardcore jungle-pop. And everyone hates it!

Here's another lab fan! My fave is that 'Music For The Amorphous Body Study Center' Mini LP. Sweet stuff. Anyone heard the High Llama's LP which features Sean O'Hagen who does all the ace Stereolab string arrangements? Liked 'Emperor Tomato Ketchup' too, but there's something a little not quite right about it that I can't put my finger on it. Can't wait for the new LP produced by John McEntire of Tortoise and mixed by my fave Kraut doodlers Mouse On Mars. There's a new MOM single on the way too with vocals from Laetititiitiitiitititia (okay so I don't know how to spell her name!) 'lab. As for the old stuff, I thing Mars Audiac Quintet is top, but the really old stuff tends to sound a little too similar. At least they seem to be moving forward now... Ping Pong should have been No.1! That's all... GrB. New from LWTCDi enterprises, more exciting record reviews of: DJ Krust - Genetic Manipulation EP (proper IDM jungle!)
