I mean, it isn't horrible, but can anyone clue me in on what to listen for, on why everyone loves it? I have no problem with repetition, but this is a little lite for my tastes. At least Daft Punk has the robo edge.< There's a fair old disco influence in a lot of that Moodymann album which might account for you finding it 'a little lite'. Personally, I can't get enough of those intensely funky grooves - particularly track 4 (I think - I haven't got a copy with me to check) - the one with a sample that goes '...please can I help yer? ha ha ha ha...'. I just find the whole album a lot groovier than most of the Daft Punk one. Not that I dislike Daft Punk (they were pretty good at Tribal Gathering) - it's just that Moodymann's so much better ;-) While we're on a house tip - I read somewhere that Green Velvet was working on an album for release in '97. Anyone know owt about that? Damon. np: The Fall - 'This Nation's Saving Grace' (uh)
