Hi Ryan,

Ahh! Another 9 Lazy 9 fan - IMHO it don't get no better than this. 'Paradise
Blown' is the other 9 Lazy 9 album on Ninja Tune, and is definately as good.
If you don't already have it, get hold of the Jazzfunktical Tricknology
compilation on Ninja Tune. It's a good sampler of NT artists, plus a few
others (like Kruder & Dorfmeister). Great album and it will introduce you to
a number of wonderful artists. I got into Funki Porcini's album Hed Phone
Sex from listening to that compilation.

A couple of other albums you may find of interest are 'Striplight' by A.P.E.
and 'Reeled & Skinned' by Red Snapper. Also the '...after hours This is Acid
Jazz' series on Instinct are well worth buying.

Have fun,

Marc.
