I agree, there was too much hype and I did get sucked into it but it is
overall a very good CD. I could do without the first track but the
tracks that have that "classic" UNKLE sound (soundtracks, weird sound
effects, heavy scratching) are dope. I don't like the Verve but Richard
Ashcroft sounds great on "Lonely Soul".
I have UNKLE's Time Has Come EP and Berry Meditation and like them both
very much. Has anyone heard the Last Orgy or the Ape Shall Kill... EP's
and have any thoughts on them?
