a quick review of the new kurtis mantronik album i picked up this today,and after a few listens i think its pretty good...nice beats,some old tunes updated (king of the beats) and another tune that uses that bassline from "bassline" which is ace,a chemical brothery type track,a few with raps on (heading toward the puff daddy pop rap unfortunately),a jungly track..it all sounds like good progression from the older mantronic stuff,and a few welcome reminders of old hits...theres one tune where hes sampled a little too much kraftwerk,and all through the album a female vocal keeps saying "kurtis mantronik" ...incase you forget... pretty good then...around 7.5/10 wayne. any reviews on the new 2lone swordsmen,its got some poor reviews in the uk press,but i heard one tune on the radio which sounded really good..?
