Hope there aren't any "Mind the Gap" samples - That would just drive me
spare.

Si Begg's Peel sessions a while back were pretty good as I remember it. And
it sounded like he had a ton of work waiting to be released. 

Mini Reviews : Squarepushers new mini-album - Not bad, but I can't remember
much about it yet. But it doesn't seem to be as murky as MIRON. 

Jimi Tenor : Organism - This is ace! Loved Intervision, and this is better.
Buy it!

Method Man : Judgement Day Remixes. Bought it coz I'm a Roni Size fan, but I
think I prefer Tricky's remix on it. Haven't got the original, so I can't
comment on the work overs though. 

Underworld - Surprisingly very good. Big Detroit influence. 

Ed Rush and Optical : Wormholes. It's good, but it's gets too much.
Especially the mixed CD. 20 minutes in I find it gets too much.

Pole CD1 and CD2. I don't get it. It's okay, but I really don't see what all
the fuss is about. And all the press have been singing the praises and I
just don't understand why (yet). 

That's all I can think of for now.
