Thanks for clearing that one up! Makes you realise how good Coldcut's
mixing is doesn't it? The mix of (my current fave) 'King of the
Beats'sounds quite chopped up on the '70 minutes of madness' as well.

This I have to agree with. I've been amazed by some people's responses to
this record. Were peple REALLY expecting another 'Polygon Window' type
album?
You can't diss an album that we've all been waiting for for nearly two
years just because it's not like earlier stuff. After all, isn't IDM
supposed to be one of the fastest evolving musical styles, taking
influences from everywhere and anywhere and not getting stuck into a
routine?
This one doesn't disappoint. The mixture of Mike's funky electric
piano playing (eg)
and Rich's crunchy rythms and melodies is a REAL treat. AND some of the
most bizzare sample loops I've heard this side of tricky, that sound like
they shouldn't work, but do....(eg- Bu Bu Bu Bam and the 3rd track etc.)
