IMHO a no brainer. Go for the 4-Hero. I don't have the Full Circle but if
it's anything like other Dara material (we're talking about NYC jungle
producer DJ Dara right?), I wouldn't bother...Two pages on the other hand
is one of the best records of 98, despite the hype...

This is the same as the import State of the Nu Art II comp? I'd pay $8 for
that, but not full (import) price.

Very similar. If you like other Tobin material I'm sure you'll dig Cujo...
