You just haven't been paying attention. Andrew Duke mentioned it ages ago, and I do believe I did also when I got it. (And if I didn't, I apologize...as it is one of the few things that I've truly enjoyed this year that would be appropriate for this list.) Excellent, funky and varied. The 12"s are rad too. Mixes by Jamie Lidell, Christian Vogel, and Si Begg. 'Nuff said. Hope Lidell's solo CD forthcoming on Spymania doesn't dissapoint. His live disc on NoFuture is pretty fun. As for Vogel, I've never been too hip on straightforward techno, so... Glad he is doing something different. Anyone seen the Mac extra stuff? Worthwhile? I've only got a PC, so.... Been tempted to drop down to the university to check it out though.

Really? I thought they gelled very well. And don't be forgetting that Lidell was also very responsible for the music. He isn't just another pretty voice over top. His "Dawn of Lidell" mix of "Darn" is stupendous! --- Peace Hugs and Unity Jason J. Tar W. W. J. D? (What would Jason Do?) http://www.msu.edu/user/tarjason ICQ@13792120
