>I find the list reponse to the Arcon 2 album interesting - people >criticized Photek's album for having three previously released tracks, but >nobody's mentioned that Leon has at least five or six single tracks on his >album. I guess that's 'cos he is less well known and Reinforced have a less wider distribution network than Virgin. The singles from Arcon 2 weren't pushed as hard as those from Modus, so therefore less people have them and are dissapointed that they are also on the LP. Hidden Camera and Ni-Ten were some of the best and most ancipated releases at their time and were very well known, so for them to turn up on the LP again was a bit much... >As for the music itself, I like a lot of it, but I liked a lot of it >better the first time, when it was called 'The Self Evident Truth of an >Intuitive Mind' - like the less jazzy parts of Amon Tobin's 'Bricolage,' >Leon Mar gets a lot of mileage out of sounds that T Power left behind two >years ago. Can't comment on this, but I have been tempted to pick it up in the last week, but it had vanished from my local store. I am in two minds as to whether it will be any good or not. I love his remix of Neotropic but a whole LP like this could be a bit much. Having said that I know there will be lots of less hectic tracks on there. I just wish more drum and bass artists treated an album as more than a bunch of singles and a few 'experimental' chilled out tracks. Why can't we have the best of both worlds, raw drum and bass that is deep enough to listen to at home for the length of an LP? As you can guess, I'm still waiting on a really decent solo artist drum and bass album. :-) Gb. --- £ "LWTCDi" Advent Madness - A New Feature Every Day... http://www.homeusers.prestel.co.uk/lwtcdi/all/ £ "VIRTUAL JUKEBOX" Still online.
