Stockwell steppas was not a proper album.  It is listed as a single and I
think most of the tracks were from a radio show.  However, every swordsman
release is different.  Weatherall doesn't like to stick to one style.  I
find their music to be challenging and highly engaging.  The new release
is very good.  I am not sure if I would classify it has house or techno. 
Parts of it are, but other parts of it aren't.  Plus the artwork is
brilliant. I think there is a good review of it at www.urbansounds.com
(complete with sound samples I think)


anyone else heard the tls remix on the transient waves ep (released on fat
cat, who incidently should have gotten label of the year)? in a word,
nice.
