I agree completely with you.... while shadow as a dj may infact deserve the much-hyped reputation he's earned, his debut album was really not that captivating enough.... there were a few strong tracks, but hardly enough kick to justify an albums worth of song. Now, the new Herbaliser album on Ninjatune is damn good.... DJ Vadim single bores me to tears though. Seems like hippity hoppity bouncy music these days is pretty hit and miss..... Aaron
