Well erm... asherly I've only listened to the egg album once since i got it
(lass night) and your description of their 'original version' sound as being
simalar is probably true... pretty much like their live set.... havent heard
the remixes, although I'm dissapointed with fila brazillia lately they(or he,
whoever) dj'd at a bristol club recently and it was most dissapointing, if
not mainly because not enough people turned up....
I'll get the track listing for ya but shopping is definately on their...
title of the album goes to the track called 'fat boy goes to the cinema'....
best description of trip hop I've heard....
