Pietro: it's a teamup between sly dunbar, robbie shakespeare (cats from the old skool still doin' it) and howie b (nu skooler); drum n bass owes a lot to dub and sly and robbie are masters; it's their interpretation of drum n bass; there was a 3 track promo vinyl ep sent out a month or so back. the album is out in feb. IDM: for those interested in checking some of this out in RA, there's a bit in the Feb 99 Electronics RealAudio chart here: http://www.globalserve.net/~cognition (along with a review) and it's also up for grabs in the auction.
