The Prunes also o\are on Mo Wax as "...the first in a series of five
excursions into hip-hop." Well, to tell you the truth, I thought this
was more trip hop than acid jazz. Many hip hop break percussion with
some underlining jazzy samples. The samples are by no means the
predominate feature in any of the 4 tracks. I am not going to say that
this Ep blows, cause its really fine shit, just more minimalistic and
hip-hopish that acid jazz.
