I gots to be agreeing wid it. Funky that you sez dis kuz I waz jus listen diz plastik. Oh, sorry. The C-Baby could be a C#-Baby because he's right on. "Thinking About Myself" has nothing to do with a Rodin sculpture of Billy Idol, and even less to do with mental ... uh ... debating. This record is basically piano with a beat. And the result - it works. Techno grooves with classical riffing (well, is it improvised or scored? difficult to say, but no more difficult than "technology heterogeneously geologizes hysterical histeriography"). Clean beats and sweeping mod moods. Most trax have a fairly driving riddim, with technique-y and freaky (chakra) piano displays. The last cut (title forgotten; and sometimes I fear that my brain's OS was written by Microsoft, with an impressive panel of "Start" buttons but lacking buttons for "Stop", "Finish", "Shut Up and Play Yer Sampler") breaks it all down into slow and moody ecstatic grooves, which makes one want to say "Give Peace a Dance". Did Art of Noise out-Glass Phil? Finally, is it pronounced with comma or coma? "Cosmic, Baby..." or "Cosmic Baby (thud)" Just wondering. Zenon M. Feszczak Bankrupt Philanthropist
