i LOVE t power AND vibert, and i must say that i was sort of disappointed with the Chocolate Weasel CD. it's got a great sense of humor and style to burn, but the songs themselves i thought were pretty underwhelming. there are one or two tracks that i really like, and the rest just sort of seems to sit there. it could be the company, though. ninja tune had what i consider to be their strongest run ever when the Chocolate Weasel CD was released. we were getting full-lengths from Clifford Gilberto, Amon Tobin, Animals on Wheels, Coldcut. . .IMO, just about anything stacked up against these other releases would be dwarfed. ymmv. -jeff -------------- 1642 try 621 --------------

speaking of that... i enjoyed the zentonedada sampler more than i thought i would. the mr. scruff & cabbageboy tracks are silly but enjoyable, & the cinematic orchestra track _is_ a keeper. as for the big dada tracks, they seemed nice although i don't know enough about hip-hop to say more than that. but the animals on wheels cut was such a disappointment. is he only into cheesy little beats nowadays, rather than the playful, masterful drill n bass i so enjoyed on 'designs & mistakes'? what a downer! -- david

There's a full length from Animals On Wheels out on Ninja Tune November 9 called Nuvol I Cadira. Got an advance copy here, but haven't had a chance to check it out yet (sick with the flu for 2 weeks and now have three weeks worth of work/listening/etc that has to be done this week! urgh). just wanted to let you know about the upcoming full length, apparently more subdued than his previous material according to the press sheet that comes with it. andrew duke :) david turgeon wrote:
