after listening to the new si begg album a few
more times i realize my initial review was way
off. this album does contain a fair share of
downtemp sample-laiden tracks, but there
are just as many manic techno/breakbeat
cuts on this album as well. still a recommend
release just ditch my earlier Chill Out 
comparison. This album is everything
you've come to expect from Si Begg - from
melody to madness and everything in 
between.
