I love the Sarah Jones thing. Utterly simple, but utterly beautiful.
Just beats and poems - back to the old school, but fresh!

Yeah, I don't think it's one of the strongest trax on the album. Still
very good, but it's got a lot of competition on this LP! Speaking of Cut
Chemist, I think I'm gonna get the Jurrasic 5 mini-LP that's in my local
shop 'cos it has that excellent Cut Chemist track "Lesson 6" on it from
the Deep Concentration compilation (thanks Sam for exposing me to
that!), but I'm not sure 'cos I know there's an LP dropping soon.
Anyway, what little I've heard of the EP sounds wicked - but any
comments would still be appreciated. After hearing that Cut Chemist
track I made a point of listening to his remix of Liquid Liquid's
"Cavern" but wasn't half as impressed. Might be a grower, tho.

I haven't had personal trades with you but I know you've been on the
list a while and bad traders don't tend to stick around or do a lot for
a list/scene regarding input/websites etc. Not saying it isn't possible,
but why would someone risk tainting their name like that? Regarding
web-sites, I've had an e-mail lying around in my inbox that you posted
to IDM a while ago about turning your site into a web-zine. I think it's
a great idea and I would like to write something in contribution,
although I have no time whatsoever right now and I don't have a clue
what I would write about anyway. But just wanted to show my support on
that front...
That's all for now.
Graham.
