I am confused (yet again....). DJ Food's _Recipe for Diaster_ is already
out on Shadow, is that their most recent record? Funki Porcini is out
here too, as is Differenz.

Just what is the deal with Instinct/Shadow? They have to be the most
inconsistent label I have seen. They apparently have access to all
kinds of stuff from Dorado, NinjaTune, Soulciety, Mo Wax and other dope
labels, so why don't they put the stuff out instead of compilations? I
would really like to see them issue DJ Cam's album (they put one of his cuts
on After Hours 2), because I'm just not finding that record here. But
then again, maybe they are planning to do this, as their selections have
definitely improved in the last 6 or so months (no more "This Is Acid
Jazz....").
