I picked up the DJ Shadow Live! Live! Live! "Camel Bobsled Race" CD late
last week, and I recommend it.  The frugal among you will note that
supposedly "Camel Bobsled Race" will be included with initial copies of
the upcoming compilation in the US.  I understand the MoWax "Camel Bobsled
Race" is extremely limited.  24 mins.  Yes, it draws entirely (or almost) 
from previously-released DJ Shadow tracks, but this is not a simple
megamix. It is a very effective reinterpretation, with astonishing
scratching -- Q-Bert's hands really do the talking, and are quite
articulate at that.
