Designs & Mistakes : Animals on Wheels full-length, Ninja Tune 1997 People were very divided about this one at the time of its release : some drill and bass tracks, some ambient-y quiet ones (like the Soluble Ducks tracks included on FunKungFusion) and some misdirected crap ones that force you to hit the 'skip' button. All round +-7/10. > How about Amon Tobin? I have the Creatures EP and have heard his > stuff as Cujo. Any tips on his Ninja releases? His "Cujo" releases are coming out on Shadow Records, which is a subsidiary of Ninja Tune. All excellent, solid stuff! Try Cujo's Adventures in Foam full-length, or last year's excellent Bricolage (Ninja Tune) and the recent release "Permutation" - which I can't comment on, since it hasn't filtered down to me yet, but from all accounts seems to be brilliant. > Finally, I have Journeyman's "National Hijinx" LP but also saw that > he had another album called "Mama 6/3001". Is that one any good? I > really like the fact that National is so dark and schizophrenic Under the "Woob" flag (Paul Frankland's alter ego) he is anything BUT schizophrenic :-) Spaced airy ambient sound pastiches with snippets of spoken word taken out of films etc. The best Woob (imo) would be em:t's 1194 - - but it's *nothing* like his Journeyman output.
