Agreed : I got mine yesterday and though I've listened through it about 4 times over, it's not enough for all the diverse bits to sink in. I do agree with previous posts that have commented on the diversity (or 'patchiness' in the more derogatory reviews) of this album, but it certainly keeps the listener on your toes because, unlike say, Jimpster - where you know what you're getting from track 1 right through to the end - this is not consistent in genre or sound. Which I don't think is a bad thing - it's certainly varied and lots of it is excellent. On a different note : could some of our graphic designers please advise me (in private) regarding the semiotic relevance and significance of the rubber gloves on the Plaid cover? I can follow that there are two gloves (ie. 2 hands - not "three") and then there's the repeat reference on the foldout inside sleeve of the yellow rubber glove. Does this portray the sound of the music? Must one handle with care? Is it corrosive / allergenic / dangerous? Huh? I * np : Dif Juz - Extractions
