_Makesaracket_ is quite a bit of fun with several really outstanding tracks and some filler. It's much ligher and more playful than Bluff Limbo, with a touch of electro/Herbie Hancock funk. It's worth a try if you really like his other stuff. DIEGBJ, on the other hand, seems comically uninspired. The sound is very thin and tinny, even for Mike, and he falls far over the boundaries of good taste with his limpid wonderbread pseudo-funk. I know a lot of people like this record, but I think it's easily his worst yet.
