did you forget Bluff Limbo? In Pine Effect? Two of the most classic albums
released...ever. without wishing to sound too much like an arse-kiss, Mike P
walks on water as far as I'm concerned...musically anyway. Can't see how you
can dismiss the rest of his stuff that easily.

semi agree on this point, it's a good ep but far from his best.

what is it with slagging off Jega? Everyone seems to have him down as merely
an imitator, even after Spectrum. Admit it, that was (is) an amazing album.

>Who else exactly should I be so proud of on the Planet Mu roster?
no need to be proud, but considering there are forthcoming records from
Capitol k, Kid Spatula, Luke Vibert and the whole remix thing of Slag Boom
Van Loon (it's got 2 BOC mixes for f**k's sake, what more do you idm only
freaks want?) my point that Planet Mu is going to be massive in 2000 is very
very valid.
just enjoy it?
