Amaaaaaaazing doesn't come close to summing it up. yep, i LOVE this album. really beautiful. also the previous AHC "songs of praise" is well worth your time. i'm not as keen on their earlier stuff tho. > There's recently been talk here of Mark Stewart, Tack>>Head etc : > this is from the same stable and even though I've heard early > material by them (Off the Beaten Track), this is really brilliant > and makes the current D'nB almost pale by comparison. that's apples & oranges. much as i love AHC, there are plenty of things in D'n'B that really get me going too. they really are not related in any way at all. also, despite the fact that AHC features adrian sherwood and skip mcdonald, it's still about a zillion miles away from the industrial funk hardness of mark stewart/tackhead/fats comet. amazing how the same people can be so brilliant at two entirely different styles. > (Okay, so there are about 4 lame tracks on the 60 min. line-up - > soft reggae-y vocal ones, skip 'em.) agreed. ps: i didn't like the bjork much either. pps: np: loop guru - the 3rd chamber (if you like AHC you will like this too). -- Jon Drukman xxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx SpotMedia Communications ...I was an infinitely hot and dense dot...
