Chocolate Weasel is the junglist T-Power (Marc Royal) and Chris Stevens
(T-power's engineer i think). I guess they decided to do something
different, and released it on ninja tune. I'll i'm aware of by Chocolate
Weasel is the "Body Lockers" EP you speak of (ZEN CDS/12 66), the album
"Spaghettification" (ZEN CD/_ 35), and the remix of Ryuichi Sakamoto's
"Grief" on the Anger/Grief remix EP (ZEN CDS/12 67). Yes, it's all good.
(Though it took about 6 months for me to get into all of spaghettification
besides body lockers.) The sakamoto remix EP is really good too, the other
mixes are by Rare Force, Talvin Singh, and Amon Tobin.
T-Power's released a lot of stuff under his own name, although most of it
for the now-defunct SOUR, so it's out of print. His album "Self-Evident
Truths of an Intuitive Mind" or something like that is still readily
available (though i don't have it). The best place would be to look at
gemm.com or just to ask a mailing list such as this or IDM nicely (I know
i've seen it posted several times on IDM For Sale lists). Also check a few
compilations for random tracks. www.cductive.com has four that you can
burn onto a custom CD.
