My favorite cut: 'slice' (no pun intended). i think mine was the bitching you were referring to. it's not that i NEED dsp fx on these breaks.. i was just illustrating that they were basically the same breaks, unaltered... so when he reuses Think and Amen in like 2/3s of the songs on the albums, i found it really tedious. it's one thing to fuck with the break when you use it (a la Hrvatski) but it's another when you're just sourcing the break straight over and over... i dunno. different strokes. i guess i was hoping to hear some kind of audible advance in his sound, being that in the past he's evolved quite noticably from album to album. ,rj../ ___,">www.gl.umbc.edu/~nworth1
