Last review was long like a bitch, so now I'm gonna be succinct. Americans seem to have had some trouble infiltrating the straight-up two step market. Bristol and London have locked up the drum n' bass locked groove style, so once again USA residents are forced to innovate. I hate when that happens, because it just keeps reinforcing my reactionary patriotic attitudes about my country. We fuckin' rocks. I got Planet V last week and it blew donkey balls, as did the Source Direct album, and then Random and We come out with these bad-assed bastard-jazz-step albums. Not only do We blow speakers with bandpass bass nasty techstomp monsters, they proffer a healthy dose of pure ambient mismachinopy and jazzy dub selecta selections. Hopefully I will never write another review this silly again, but this album's got me excited after that sedated Transmat offering and I can't help it. Oh, BTW, the Random album is some damn fine shit too. It's called Too Stoned To Sneeze Without Regretting It; despite the look-at-me-I'm-clever-funny title the music's actually prime. Tom, who is ging to calm down now.
