Yes, some of the tracks do some very much like Tom Jenkinson's output.
However, much of the album is different. To add some comparisons, there
are a few tracks that sound like newer Funki Porcini, and old Amon Tobin
Cujo-era stuff.
I'm quite appalled that people would discount Clifford Gilberto as a
rip-off artist. I think that the album is a really gorgeous listen from
beginning to end. Whether or not some of the sound is a bit err..
borrowed remains to be determined by the individual listener. Clifford
Gilberto is about as much Squarepusher as Funkstorung is to Autechre, or
Komputer is to Kraftwerk.
