i'm new to the list so i didn't catch this when it was posted originally,but i have to say i disagree.i just listened to it again[cd version with yeesland and pencha on it]first time i played it i wsn't too sure,but now i love.it definitely repays repeated listening.
quoted 2 lines I dunno, but I'm really disappointed. Chiastic Slide and Envane> I dunno, but I'm really disappointed. Chiastic Slide and Envane >was KILLER, this is nothing new.
it doesn't sound to me like they're repeating themselves,krib in particular isn't like anything they've done before. -drew np:sqaurepusher-big loada [hmm...not sure yet.1st track's a gem tho]
