some of it sounds good - some bits are underwhelming.

actually i think that p73 sounds a bit too "POP" in some parts...and i think that it's a bit too repetitive .... yet it's a really good release, i like it very much.

i haven't heard anything about this.
MH is a great ambassador for electronic music.

I love the album, and my favourite track is the many and the few :)

yeah emma, prefuse73 live was really great....and he played here in rome in a place called "chiostro del bramante" which is like a '600 (maybe 800 ??? ) palace and you can imagine how cool could have been the contrast...again, one of the best live acts i 've been to. :)

the album 'Goodbye Swingtwime' was recorded at Abbey Studios, over two days

The Jazz On 3 team were divided over whether to play it. Jez won the argument, although he admits it's a fascinating - if flawed - record.

If you're a Late Junction or Mixing It listener then the mischievous Mr Herbert will not be a new name to you.

Under an army of aliases he made a bunch of fine, progressive dance music in the 90s and most recently helped produce Bjork's last LP.

He also loves jazz and has now managed to get his own Big Band together, featuring the notable likes of bassist Dave Green and saxophonist Dave O'Higgins.


Featured musicians include-
Jamie Lidell, Shingai Shoniwa, Dani Siciliano, Mara Carlyle, Arto Lindsay: vocals
Peter Wraight: arrangements
