I picked this one up yesterday, and it really is a great LP. I think they called it
"It's Not What You Think" for exactly the reason you were surprised. Don't know
about the US version, but the copy I bought came with a bonus CD of previous Tek9
singles, which is a great collection of Drum&Bass stuff. There are two tracks with
an MC on my version, and the tracks end up sounding like The Roots on a very good
(and laid back) day.

If you like the drum+bass stuff on this LP, the LP "Jacobs Optical Stairway" is
well worth getting if you haven't already. It's pretty much the same crew...
