Here's a review of Lamb that was posted to the idm list. A later
post was very unflattering toward the headliner, Gus Gus.

> You know I'm amazed that the media is fixated on lame-o's like

> great music. The breaks on "Cotton Wool" sound like Photek with a dash of
> Squarepusher's madness on top of it-- should make any IDMer smile. I don't

> Bjork + Plaid.
