I thought it was a bit of a let down after the Lilt-A single (with the great Stasis remix) and the Repeat LP. I agree the tracks were abstract. Perhaps too abstract for what I wanted to buy. I was really excited about buying Canada, but after hearing it I passed on it Speaking of Pure Plastic, I have always wanted to get Pure Plastic 05. I have one of the tracks from that ep on the Fake Fruit and Horrible Shoes comp (that's the right name isn't it). Does Ed Handley do all the songs on that ep? And if so, how are they?

I have picked up his two 12"s on Fragmented, they were both good. My favorite track was Yellow Deal! That track reminded me of Carl Craig. Do you know of any other releases that have tracks like that. > I look forward to hearing the the Native record to > see what sounds he and his label mates are exploring > now. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
