I can't say I know that much about Chuck Chillout but he did have a great
song about 7-8 years ago where he sampled Talking Heads' "same as it ever
was" song (I don't remember the name of either--Chuck Chillout's started
with a Rodney Dangerfield sample and an album was on a major label in the
early "let's plunder hip hop" phase). I used to play it. Good to know he's
still at it. Phat Wax has been around a looonnnng time but I never liked
their stuff in ye olden days (not my cup of tea, Cup of Tea is more my cup
of tea).

Out to sea,
