I don't have the disc (but I know a man who >does), but from what I remember it's a marvellously chilled piece of >ethno-tribal ambience from Mr Guerilla himself. Sounds like the cover (a >Thai bas-relief from Ankhor Wat temple or something) suggests.

Hmm, Jules, I believe you are referring to Strange Cargo III, not the original. I saw a copy of the original (Stange Cargo) in New Orleans a while back, but I don't remember the details of the cover. The cover you described, tho, Jules, certainly belongs to Strange Cargo III. As for the first Strange Cargo record, I'm sure you'd find it to be worthwhile music, Teep, but don't expect IDM. You know, IMHO, SC III is only marginally IDM.. way cool, but very close to jazz and new age instrumentalism. Anyway, SC I is even farther away from IDM. I can remember playing cuts off that record when I used to DJ a local jazz show on Saturdays, so... guitar oriented narada-jazz stuff maybe? Still, if anyone out there has direct audio info on this record, please post it.. my memories are vague, and I'm curious about it too. 'some said quest was wack, but now is that the case?' brad.
