i agree, but as i regularly rant about on this list - you normally find
that the instrumental tracks underneath were written by someone else - e.g
New World Order is just him rapping over Bill Conti's "Reflections". It is
interesting to me that the recent Galliano relleases don't seem to be as
good as the first two - and coincidentally they haven't been
sampling/covering old stuff ;-)

i think one day someone should release an alternative Galliano LP - of all
the originals from Hal Singer to Archie Shepp.
