> How about Jega....Jay-ga or Yay-ga ? I'm going to say Jay-ga. Last April, I was calling about a Jega show while in London, and asked if "Yay-ga" was playing that night. I got some kind of "Wha?" in return, so I tried "Jay-ga" and finally seemed to connect... BTW: I remember something about a thread several weeks ago regarding American hip-hop producers and their similarities to electronic stuff. I'm convinced that if tracks from the latest Busta Rhymes, Timbaland or RZA LPs (heck, even Jay-Z) were released on some obscure label without vocals, they'd blow up around here. There's even some good productions on No Limit Records (maybe one or two per album), with really hot cymbals going tsss-tsss and those great start-stop bass rhythms. Maybe Wu-Tang is onto this, since an instrumental version of RZA's album is coming out early next year... (Wasn't there an album of DJ Premier productions out in Britain awhile ago?) .John. NP: RZA As Bobby Digital (Gee Street) -- he even samples Portishead! I've always thought she was the worst thing to happen to the band, so I chuckled after hearing Beth pitched-up to chipmunk range.
