>>a "good album" that happens to be jungle/drum and bass >The original version of Black Secret Technology The original version? There's a repress? What's the difference? And I've been looking for it since i heard the AGCG remixes of Tricky's "Piano" and D*Note's "Criminal Justice." So far, I'll i've heard of his jungle stuff are a few tracks and remixes that are too few and far between. I recently got AGCG's "Peel Sessions" Cass Single. This is pretty cool, i like it a bit better than Automanikk. Is this (the Peel Sessions) a lot what Newbuild sounds like? Cos i definitely hear a precursor to Aphex Twin in there. >Jacob's Optical Stairway Who's this by? (I apologize for my ignorance) >>and i think an actual album by Photek (instead of compilations by him) >>would probably a "good album". >Yes, Modus Operandi is a "good album." I consider MO to be a compilation rather than an album, a lot of old tracks and a bunch of new ones, right? Much like tricky's "Maxinquaye." Not quite an album and not quite a copm of old tracks. IMHO, MO is good but not a "good album" Probably too much reliance on the same samples (which remind me of a messed up shower spout being turned on). The jazz track JKZ is realy cool though. More variety like that and he'd have been there. I'm looking forward to any "real album" that he puts out, not collected singles. Photek is one of my favorite dnb producers, i know there's a great album within his capability. _________________________________ Adam Roesch / xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx Augsburg College / Minneapolis / MN / USA Visit my Fila Brazillia/Pork Recordings fan site: http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/pork/ "The only disease we need in our blood is love" TRICKY
