While I don't buy everything that they put out, I like most of it. I also give a thumbs up on the Chaser LP. And the Funk D'Void cd that was released last year (or maybe 1997). Hopefully, there will be a new Funk D'Void out soon. The last Percy X single on Soma had this really great minimal track with dub sounds in it. Great track! Soma and Ferox are labels I always look out for. Cheers _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
