No, but thanks for the mini-review! I didn't even know it had come out.
How do you rate it against the other Pork stuff ie Fila's "Black Market
Gardening", Baby Mammoths "10,000 Years" and Heights Of Abraham's
"Electric Hush"?

I tried to discuss it a year or two back, and got a slight, but
interesting, response.

Hmm. I'll have to get my hands on this one. I was led to believe it was
one of their less interesting ones (shouldn't have payed any attention -
all Fila I've heard so far has been smart).

Well, I think Electric Hush by Heights of Abraham is one of the best LPs
of all, and there's not much like it about. Really great!

"10,000 years" is the least favourite Pork CD I own, so I didn't
investigate the others. It's still pretty good though..

Yeah, they're great, although I only own Black Market Gardening. I
should get some others, definately. I love Uriel too. While I'm on the
subject, did the Uriel LP come out on vinyl? What is the tracklisting? I
have the Jazz Roux and Funk Attack Phenomenon 12"s which I adore...
