took a listen to the scuba compilation, but didnt pick it up (im more into the 'Twisted Funk' sound rather than the Naked Music / OM sound). sounded kind of like it was run thru some cheesy "mastering" plugin too...overbalanced on the high end...maybe all of OMs stuff sounds like that...i wouldn't know.\
on the other hand, i picked up the Oba Funke LP and it sounds fantastic and everyone i've played it for loves it! ..definitely one of the best "Intelligent Dance Music" releases of the year even if people on this so called "IDM" list totally missed it. oh and the karma giraffe is such a great logo....i want t shirts! oba is so far my personal fave for 2002 along with the new Squarepusher and Scattered Snares. I think the only thing that could snatch its "top 3 for 2002" position would be an LP from Mark Force, on the futuristic tip...time will tell!
