'Playing With Time's not bad at all... as long as he keeps both things on the go I see no problem. He could be secretly producing Steps for all I care. While we're at it, can anyone give me an opinion on the Natural Composite album and the Autocreation stuff he was involved in? I still reckon that the best Locust I've heard is the Peel session he did... I'm sure one of the session tracks is a remix/relative of one of the tracks off Truth...
