The track on "Excursions In Ambience 1", with the bEAGLES sample from "One Of These Nights" was my first exposure, and it left quite a bad taste. Using a bEAGLES sample was bad enough, but then to crossfade over something out of key was unconscionable - like fingers on a chalkboard. Nothing I've heard since has changed my opinion. There's just something a bid too middle-of-the-road about them... Cheerfully yours Che
