It was made at around a similar time to Tango so it sounds like some of his earlier style of work. A lot of people prefer this style to the newer stuff he does or the Jake Slazenger / Gary Moscheles releases; it could be because he wasn't signed to a major label then and there were less pressures to release work so the work he did was more from the heart. Bluff Limbo is a double LP or double CD with identical track listings, unlike Tango. I think Mike said in an interview that the album was one of his personal favourites. Conclusion: If you liked Tango N' Vectif, buy Bluff Limbo immediately. It's an electronic masterpiece. -Ed

G'day, I might be able to score a copy of u-ziq's 'Bluff Limbo' double CD. Thing is, I haven't heard it, and I'm having a bugger of time searching the IDM archives at the moment, so could someone give me a description of this CD? ie, what's the main style? how does it compare with 'Tango n Vectif' and 'In Pine Effect', is it worth picking up, etc... I also might be able to get 'Freaky Chakra vs Single Cell Orchestra' CD as well - I didn't mind the last Single Cell Orchestra rekkid, so what is this like, anyone? Thanks, Geoff PS: JJJ (Oz radio station) is playing plenty of Daft Punk's 'Da Funk' - why do I always think of Led Zeppelin's 'Trampled Underfoot' whenever I hear this choon? And why does the new Orb choon 'Toxygene' (also getting flogged to death on JJJ) remind me of Grid's 'Texas Cowboys'?
