Well, I dunno a lot about the background of the label, but someone else
has already posted a bit about that. I just wanted to follow-up with a "me
too!" sorta thing and say that you're right, the record is mighty fine. I
also recommend a previous 12" EP on 360 (also dist. by Silent/PulseSoniq)
by Mammal which is on a similar tip, and CD on 360 by Tim "Love" Lee
called "Confessions of a Selector" that retains the trip-hop flava, but
adds a nice'n'sleazy 70's veneer to the whole thing. Worth it just for the
last third of the disc, a "suite" of tracks that feature samples from this
really fucked up Christian-sounding child discipline record. Spank-o-rama!
