_Sculpture and Broken Sound_ is a very solid album.  Some forgettable
tracks, but mostly solid chunks of musique concrete/hip-hop from the UK
and Japan.  Part 2's "Prelude to Cycle 6" is one of the best tracks I
heard last year (also featured on Vadim/Prime Cuts mix CD in DJ
magazine).  I picked my copy up as a Japanese import ... did it ever get
released in the UK?  And speaking of which, has anybody got the Ruf Neck
Piano album?  I see it available from time to time, but as a Japanese
import with no liner notes ...

_Organised Sound_ is probably a better place to start.  It's a Jazz Fudge
release filled with standout tunes.  Vadim, Ice vs. Palace, New Flesh 4
Old, Mark B (remixed by the Underdog!), and Skull all turn in fantastic
cuts.  Lewis Parker even turns up on two.  
And with awesome cover art!  It must be a special kinda skill ...

K'Boro has a couple releases so far, all I think with Mark B on them. 
Now if only he could find a few good MC's.
