Coincidently I just picked up changing hands.  I don't think it can be
compared to Takemura's solo work.  The work is a collaboration (though
they never met face to face to colloborate) and it's point is much
different because of that fact.  Takemura's music is off in the
experimental realm.  However, changing hands has more in common with DJ
krush and DJ Shadow.  Good stuff all around but you definitely have to
approach it in a different manner.  Have you heard childs view - funfair
(on bubble core)?  from your description of the thrill jockey album it
seems to be very similar.


thanks for the review.
