. Unlike Dee-Lite this music isn't nearly as flaky. The emphasis is more
. on the music than what the singer is trying to say. That doesn't mean
. they're all instrumentals though. Anytime a hired vocalist starts
. singing, however, you beg for them to shut up because it deflects from
. what Towa Tei is doing with the music.

I partly disagree with this last bit, but each to his own view. Certainly on
Technova (La Em Copacabana ;-) ) the vocals definitely add to the song,
but with Son Of Bambi (Walf Tuff) I wish they would disappear!

. The album's big highlight is "Son of Bambi." In it he successfully
. combines the sounds of East India with a Jamaican dancehall beat. The
. combination of the two is just amazing.

Absolutely.
