not quibbling, just adding ...(a bit)... ;)

kinda, theres a definate progression towards his tobin stuff. it had more of
a trip hop feel, in a similar way that funki porcini went from jazzy
trip-hop to jazzy drum'n'bass, i think cujo was moving in the same
direction. more voice sample type stuff also w/ the guy going on about space
ships an' all.

the "nu-art" comp was ok, probably better if you don't have much by the
artists involved, and then y'can treat it a bit like a sampler rather than a
listening experience in its own right. otherwise it seemed to be a classic
'offcuts' comp.
