The vocals are "in-house" (3D and I forget the other guys name, Grant?) on
the new single "Rising Sun". I don't know about vocals for the album but
it could still very well be in process as the album won't be out for quite
a while. Also, the new single contains "Super Predators" with Mad
Professor doing the remix (this song is not my favorite and not "typical"
Mad Professor dub--it features a guitar sample with only some dubby feel).

Tangential question: Does anyone know the sample/melody line used in both
Bentley Rythm Ace's "Who Put The Bom in the Bom Bom Diddleye Bom?" and Fila
Brazillia's "Weasel Out of the Muck" (both very good songs by the way and
hence my curiosity)?

Peace,

Jim
