cut up acoustic drums with some nice ambiento euromelodies. if any kirk
degiorgio fans were wondering when someone else was going to start doing
stuff like his, this is it, albeit while hanging with the downbeat breaks
clique. it's quite a bit more dynamic and cleanly produced than the boards
stuff i've heard. the certificate 18 electronic projects seem to be
plumbing an "electronics with bongos" vein.
