Hey! That's me...and to answer my own question, vocals are featured heavily on
the LP, prolly more than half the tracks. Unfortunately I was pretty
disappointed in this one - beyond the lush packaging on the ltd. version, there
wasn't much here for me. The only track that perked my ears was "Melodius
Thunk" and that's off an earlier 12" on MoWax of the same title anyway. This
one didn't do it for me. Better to look for these, I know they're old but still:
- Andrea Parker "Melodius Thunk" 12" (MoWax)
- Andrea Parker & David Morley "Angular Art" 12" (OpArt?)
- Andrea Parker "Unconnected" 12" (Studio K7 DJ Kicks 12")
These are the best things she's done IHMO, electro meets things that go bump in
the night. Spooky clunk and rattle sounds. Good stuff.

I can't say much about JHNO by himself since I've only heard his solo
stuff once (the album KWNO). I do, however, very highly recommend his
collaboration project with John Ridenour called Spool. As far as I know,
they have only one album, but it is incredible. It was recommended to me
at a local record shop by an employee who put it in his top 3 favorite
albums along with Boards of Canada/Music Has... and Global Comm./7614
which are also two of my all time favorites.

I can't go quite as far as you did in praising this one, but it *is* a good
disc. I think I mentioned it a while back, dunno. The first track is especially
hypnotic, reminiscent of GCC. The rest of the disc is nice as well, and for
some reason the last few tracks reminded me of Tortoise. Aside from all that,
he's an incredibly nice guy as well. I'd also recommend these two:
- jhno "kwno" CD (gamelan d'n'b on one of the tracks)
- jhno "Fly" 12" (Steve Miller Band sample meets Sqrpusher breaks w/o sounding
cheesy, believe it or not...)
Enjoy...Brock
