I haven't heard 1st one and 3rd one that you mentioned above,
but I have Baby Mammoths "10,000 Years" , and Akotcha 'Sound
Burger' is much better IMO. In fact it is my best Pork release so far,
it's like Push Button Objects meets Uriel thing, funkeeeeeeeeee
It's not that serious funk for a dirty world, get the point ?  :-)

>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!

I have Heights of Abraham 'Humidity', I think it's their debut.
It brilliant piece of work, easy listening, morning-lazy-get-up-jazzy
thing. This one is released in 1993, and features that old tDR
design, pretty much in vain of 1st N.O.W on Warp (warpCD4),
of course I meant design, not music...
I must get hold of Electric Hush CD. When is it released ?
Can somebody point me out where I might find it...thanks

I have their 'One...Two...Freak' album and it's great, better
than "10,000 years.." , imo. It's more innovative than "10,000
years..." and it's superb for all of you tech-jazz heads out there....

I don't have this one you have. When is it released ?
I have only those two CDs by Fila :
FILA BRAZILLIA "MESS" pork031CD '96
FILA BRAZILLIA "LUCK BE A WIERDO TONIGHT" pork045CD '97
And both of those two are brilliant, so I really must get 'Black Market
Gardening' .
