I saw both the first on CD and the second on LP at 13.99 a piece at the
local store today, so i assume that they're still readily available.  I'm
low on cash, so I passed them up. Anyone care to post reviews? either way
i'll probably be picking both of them up this weekend (if Richard James
likes them they must be good</MASSIVE SARCASM>, then again, RDJ also like
the DMX Krew, so maybe i shouldn't get them ;-)

But, back on the scratch dj hip-hop tip, i picked up the new x-ecutioners
(formerly x-men) album, which is excellent.  I'll try and get a review
up, along with reviews of kandis' senking and the new carpet bomb, as
soon as i get 'em done.

Speaking of which (I know our asphodel associate mentioned this a bit
back, but i don't have my old mail from aol), does anyone know about this
'battle sounds project', i.e. where i can get it.  a quick scan of the
'xpressions' credits shows that the the x-outtakes spoken bits (all of
five of which blend surprisingly into the album), come from this
'documentary on hip hop djs'.  Sounds pretty interesting.  Wasn't there a
big ol' weekend long fet. in NY featuring this? i'm sorry i missed it :-(

sorry if this is off topic, all 'ya idm purists.

bye everybody!,
