re: Restproof... On the new
one, they aim for more of a balance between programmed
and live musicianship, so there's scratching from Kushti's
Daddy ... (don't have album nearby as i type this :)) on
a couple of cuts, some live bass and live percussion here
and there, that sort of thing. They were looking for
more of a balance, I'd say. Coincidentally, i was lucky
enough to finally interview plaid on wednesday of this
week, so i'll be posting when that interview is online
in RA and text formats soon. Hope this helps. Andrew Duke :)
