>>How do you rate it against the other Pork stuff ie Fila's "Black Market
>>Gardening", Baby Mammoths "10,000 Years" and Heights Of Abraham's
>>"Electric Hush"?
>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 haven't heard Push Button Objects, but if it's anything like
Uriel I want it! I'll try and get my hands on it when I have some spare
cash...
>>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.
The second one is like an ambient Underworld, expect not as bad as that
would be. The vocals are like that bloke from Underworld, but it's also
got that Massive Attack kind of feel.
>I must get hold of Electric Hush CD. When is it released ?
Well, the original was released probably about three years ago on Pork.
It has a silver sleeve with a green square in the middle, so the silver
is kind of like a border. It's quite distinctive. The Pork release isn't
that hard to find over here, however there has recently been a
re-release on ZTT who lisenced it afresh for '97. The copy I have is a
promo of the ZTT release which I picked up very cheaply. I never saw a
proper release, and if there was one, it wasn't very high profile. Maybe
someone can confirm that it did actually come out? There is also a
sampler 12" on ZZT with 4 tracks, which I think marks the first
appearance on vinyl for the Electric Hush stuff.

>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 found "10,000 years" a little monotonous, not having the variation of
the Fila release I've heard.
>>Yeah, they're great, although I only own Black Market Gardening. I
>>should get some others, definately.
>I don't have this one you have. When is it released ?
It came out about a year and bit or so ago, I think ('96 not '97). The
cat no is PorkCD37 and it's the one just before "Luck Be A Weirdo
Tonight"...
>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'.
Yeah, it's top too. Only 9 tracks, but a great range of styles with that
same Fila feel. Much better than all the remixes they were churning out
at the time.
