    I've always dug the affiliate work of these lads, just so innovative and
    ready to make new stuff everytime.

    I like the album quite a bit just because it isn't all the same throughout
    and Paul Seiji Dolby makes sure that the songs aren't one bit redundant.
    However, I have a few notions:

    1) "Lazy Days" was murdered to death upon the release of this album. It
    was released on the Sole Spring Sampler, then Phuturesole and then was
    re-released as a single with no remixes or whatnaut. Don't get me wrong,
    this song was great but I was getting really sick of it at the end.

    2) "Do What You Want?" is actually "What's On Your Mind?" by Everyday
    People off of Resolution which was an older Bugz In The Attic track from
    1996-7 (can't remember exactly). And they are making this the next single.
    Unfortunately and fortunately (either way you look at it), they are getting
    Terry Hunter to remix it so you can expect some standard house rub for it.

    Other than that, this album is quite good. Reminds me of the older Bugz
    sound that I truly loved! I really can't wait for the next Neon Phusion
    album but we won't see that until Laws Of Motion finishes releasing the rest
    of the Modaji singles and then the Agent K album. BTW, is the "See The
    Changes" remix that Anthony Nicholson did ever coming out? Some people I've
    talked to have questioned a Modaji remix album and now I'm wondering!

    PS: Does anybody know what's on the Humble compilation?

    Thanks mates@!
