    most folks i've talked to haven't really dug the madlib remix. i think it
    might be my favorite out of all of those remixes although i'll have to
    revisit the herbert one. seems weird that his wouldn't be the best one to me
    as i absolutely love anything he puts out.

    i can relate to the airplane fetish but on a different tip. i love
    travelling, i love imagining when i see planes in the sky (and there's tons
    here in orlando), and i love some of breathtaking sunrises and sunsets i've
    seen on planes. but what i really love are TRAINS. love the sound of them,
    love travelling in them, but most of all love listening to tunes in them.
    germany to poland with massive attack in the ears stands out to me...

    i'll have to definitely check out the "destination:out"

    >>Last week I came back from a trip where my airline of choice was British

    >>I started flipping through the radio channels, and on one of the channels,
    >>what do I hear ? Lo and behold, funky jazztickal broken beats! And soon
    >>thereafter, a familiar voice with a british accent... none other than Mr.
    >>Peterson. In fact now that I think of it I think I remember knowing
    >>that GP was on BA.... in any case, I've got to hand it to BA for being
    >>progressive and supporting the arts. The whole thing they did with
    >>commissioning artists to do the tail fins on their planes, and now this.

    >>
    >>Anyway, it was some nice listening at 40,000 feet! The person next to me

    >>Some recent albums that are rocking my world:
    >>
    >>UFO - V - this is by far the most mature work of theirs, impeccably
