    Good Looking eh' what's your artist name??

    If you wanna find out even more about IG - I was highly surprised to find
    out a whole page dedicated to him on the Ministry Of Sound website. They've
    got some clips of his new stuff which is out soom on Virgin I think. And
    they've got audio streams of an interview tho' I didn't get round to
    listening to them.

    It was pretty good. They had an early 90's house set from LTJ Bukem of all
    people. Also an MJ Cole mix and a nice little set from Danny McMillan (do
    check out the stuff on his label). I was quite surprised to find all this
    actually. I suppose some props should go to Ministry - though I think their
    mag should be banned (or is that censorship?!)
