Ditto for me. All three tracks on the EP are "A-side" quality.
How does this compare with Scruff's other releases?

Likewise. Apart from the first few innovative releases by
Plug, Squarepusher, AFX, etc., most of the "drill'n'bass" stuff
I've heard is way too formulaic.

I have mixed feelings on this one. I like the fact that they're
expanding their sound, even throwing in some country influences,
rather than trying to regurgitate their first album. But it does
sound lightweight to me. Having seen them in concert last week,
though, I can testify that they're still a great live band.
