hi all, oh, another big recommendation on REALLY nice triphop - (btw, Mark Stevens' list was topnotch), is Earthling. They're now kaput, they were vaguely Portishead-affiliated, their rapper Mau (now in 4AD's Cuba, which I haven't heard much about - anyone?) is an absolute genius, and actually someone mentioned them on the list recently."Echo On My Mind" and "Planet Of The Apes" are two particularly good tracks, most of their stuff has _totally_ surreal rapping but some is instrumental only. Very bizarre cover of Springsteen's "Because The Night", too. Umm, nice T-shirts too - 'Earthling Quality Sandwiches', I think they said.. regards, h0l. ps - I think I was caught comparing a Scanner concert to artwankery a few weeks back. Well I just heard his new album on Sulphur/Sulfur (his own label, right?), "Lauwarm - Instrumentals" - really _really_ good. I take it all back. :)
