    I've heard the new Quant was so so so good.

    Chris, remember the song by Alphawezen called "Into The Stars" that I
    liked so much?
    There is a song on the Boris Carloff - Good Stuff EP called "First Joy"
    that reminds me
    of Into The Stars in an odd way. This style isn't really my cup of tea,
    I personally loved the funkier sound
    of from the Second Whorl release, but I must confess I've grown to have
    this strange fascination with this song "First Joy."
    The beats are amazing and then comes along this unexpected male vocal
    singing "first joy, is in my heart......." and by the time the song
    comes to an end you've honestly fallen in love. I'm sure a lot here will
    really love this record.
    Release number 2 from the Red Salamanda label. (label name is so cute
    isn't it?)

    Here's his (Boris Carloff) site: http://www.boriscarloff.com/

    As for the Stevie project, guess I'll have to take a listen, though it's
    hard to imagine anything compared to the real deal.....
    I'm still curious about this.

    nighty night-
