of "music magazines". I want to have something else.
Extra plus for Time Out's excellent web site! http://www.timeout.co.uk/)

(never seen him, got the mix tape though -
the best mix tape I've heard.)
Overrated Project of 1995

("Hey, why don't we let me, me, me be on all tracks...
Then, the legends and stars can do some backup stuff. Right?")
Underrated Project of 1995

- Pure Sand
(Most of the stuff is just as good as that of U.F.O. and Takemura.)
