Hey, thanks for the review. I had been contemplating picking this up
but had held off after reviewing my previous MBM material (and
realizing that the hit to filler ratio is pretty equal, tipping
actually towards filler) and figured I'd wait until the reviews came
in. As I was much more of a fan of the edgy ultra-percussive stuff
(like, well, basically the stuff like the two tracks that they made
"singles" from off of actual sounds and voices), I'll happily give
this one a miss.
Speaking of which, has anyone picked up the Tino's Breaks "Halloween
Dub" release? How's that compared to previous tino material?
