I have never really cared for Goldie's music. I don't really care for
either album. As a musician I don't dive him props. But I have to give
him props on Metalheadz releases. Metalheadz has released some awesome
music over the years!! The Metal Box for instance, that's great!!

I can't wait to hear more Optical releases!!

Speaking of DJ Krust, check out his new remix of Bjork's Alarm Call.
This is totally slamming.
