Thanks for the SQUAREPUSHER tip. Herbalizer's "Blow your headphones" is
definitely worth picking up! A step away from "Remedies" but definitely
positive. There's 3(?) songs with hip hop vocals "the Blend" being my
favorite. The girl's got a nice flow. Other than that all i can say is
the beats are thick and very heavy on the bass to say the least.

As for vadim's release, there are a couple of fat tracks on it i like a
lot , but on a whole it didn't stick with me for some reason and got
rather annoying at times. Maybe it's just me.

Just picked up a really great comp. on City of Angels called "Changes -
Modern Moods in jazz". Does anyone know what other stuff Mephisto
Odyssey has out?
