After listening to Photek I always get a headache - it must be the tension or 
something of those damn crazy beats.  Anyway, I take two Advil, wait 20 
minutes, then put on a disc.

Yes, definitely "jazzy," um, well, sort of, I guess, if jazz = undanceable 
beats and underwater recordings.  Like Wells said, it seems that we may have 
forever lost Tom from the HND/FMWT days of greatness to his fusion/free 
jazz/whatever "roots."  How I long for the days of Vic Acid!
