Ok, i'm ready for the flames but I am listening to "Brown Paper Bag" right
now, and have been listening to the rest of the album for the last few
days, and I just can't say I am at all impressed, other than the Bahamadia
track and the "Beatbox" track. I also got Goldie's 'Timeless' a while ago
and still can't quite get that viceral feeling that I get from
photek/squarepusher/amon tobin. I do like 'Digital' Goldie/KRS-ONE, but
other than that Roni and Goldie just seem so repetitive to me, if I want
that I'll get 808 State or Daft Punk. Any other thoughts/flames? I do
need some insite.

Yes, for some reason the Tower near me has been ordering lost of French
vinyl and I've been stocking up. I've got Source Lab 3 x/y, DJ Cam
'Substance' (I like more than the x-ecutioners, La Yellow 'Collection', La
Haine on Vinyl, Super discount, Air's EP, Dimitri From Paris "Sacrebleu",
also The Might Bop avec La Funk Mob & DJ Cam. Now I just need to find some
Supreme NTM for less than 50 bucks.
