Never say never, I bought the Howie B album (music for...) just a couple
of weeks ago and was actually surprised. It is no doubt mellow, but NOT as
mellow as most of the Skylab album....wich brings us to the next part-
Yes there is an album.... Its titled "no.1". Its Howie B in collaboration
with Tosh and Kudo (someone talked about Love TKO the other day - its the
same guys). The album is WERY mellow with few beats and more of pure, original
ambient sounds....some exceptions though. The most common tracks on compilations
is "Seashell" wich is the far most upbeat song on the album. Interesting is
the song "Shh" wich is 157 secs. of silence - hmmmm.....
I like the idea behind the Skylab release, but was wery dissapointed since
I thought it would be more like Seashell - excellent song! Choosing between
the two albums the solo "music for babies" wins. Especially for the jazzy
"on the way" and the totally f#$ked up "away again".

Anyway, both albums are nice overall - if you like ambient, cause thats
wat it is :)
