Some members of your stable sound more alike than others - the DJ Food, Herbaliser, UB&O, and 9L9 all kinda run together for me...which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I dunno, seems like th production styles & working methods are pretty similar. Funky Porcini just seems a bit more whack (in a cool way). Definitely looking forward to the Amon Tobin (I love Cujo) BTW, will Amon Tobin be coming out US domestic? Che
