hmmm, i don't ever remember adding more on this!
well, it's basically a hazey experience. some
pretty laid back tunes, with a nice layer added
by farda p in places, but on one or two occasions
his spoken word effects annoyed me. for the most
part the tracks are dub-inspired and there is a
healthy smattering of drum rhythms a la drum and
bass. the more rockers track is phat tho' with
a great steppin' bass-line. if you like the rockers
hi-fi sound in the recent release, this is for you.
otherwise, give it a listen first ... i personally
prefer the minus 8 release on inflammable (dj cam
produced) which has a similar feel with more flava.

lounge music for the 90's? LOL! aren't journalists
great? what was lounge music for the 80s?

peace,
bijan
