All three tracks are pretty solid. The track I
like the most is "Go Sheep" (I hope I remembered
the right one of that and "Go Sumo"), which is
also on the Clear comp "It's all becoming...".
It's a swung, downbeat thing with nice drifty
chords, focussing on a portamento melody. It
reminds me most of their remix of Palmskin Prod's
"The Beast", if you've heard that.

>From memory "Go Sumo" is in a style similar to
"Puzl", which I don't like so much. 

Anyone want my copy of "Sounds", actually? :-)
Drop me a line. It's no longer CD-pristine, cos
when I got it, it was secondhand already. I dunno,
maybe just twice postage from NZ, plus how much I
paid for it (about US$3).
