You're showing your (young) age, Aaron. :) Us oldsters are more likely to
compare it to "Close (to the edit)" or "Beatbox".

Out in mid-June as someone has mentioned. Promos are out there - I got
mine yesterday, and it seems to be the finished album. Personally, I'm a
little underwhelmed - too much d'n'b-lite with saxaphone (ick) and such.
It's not *totally* awful, but as someone who was a big fan of AoN back in
the day, I was nearly peeing myself with glee when I slid the disc outta
the envelope, and I expected it to knock me on my bum, esp. since Horn is
back in the fold.

And no, the Prodigy ain't on it.

Whatever. I'm too busy grooving on this Electro-Lounge compilation that I
got yesterday as well to worry about much else. Yma Sumac mixed by
Q-Burns! Louis Prima mixed by Tranquility Bass! Dean Martin & Julie London 
mixed by The Rip-Off Artist (uh, who he be?)! "The Good, The Bad & The
Ugly" mixed by Gus Gus! Plus Wagon Christ, mu-Ziq, MBM... oooooh baby.

(it's out in June on some label called The Right Stuff)
