I said influences, not that any of the tracks sound 'exactly' like the artists mentioned. That would make the LP derivative and undoubtably a load of old spanners (an unintentional Black Dog reference!). What I mean is that the fractured beats are somewhat Squarepusherish, and the acid stylee on some of the tracks (Cornish Acid) is like acid which is very like Kommie.

All of the tracks! What makes the RDJ album great is that it makes a good album. Every track is brilliant, which is something I can't say for SAW II, I Care Because You Do, definately not Classics and not even Polygon Window. It works like pop music because the tracks are so short and hook filled that you want to hear them again.
