I love Skint but am not a big fan of anything I have heard by Req. I am
basing my opinions on a 12" and compilations as I have seen the new album
but have not heard it.
I was disappointed in the Bassbin Twins vs. Skint 12" precisely because it
samples too much Req and Midfield General (after I heard good things about
the release I anticipated all my favorite Skint tunes in a Bassbin cut n
paste style but I got mostly my least favorite Skint tunes).
Oh well, the Fat Boy Slim full length was pretty good (but my own humble
opinion is that the best Fat Boy track is "We Wanna See Those Fingers") and
I am sure that the Bentley's full length will be brilliant when it is
released.
Peace,
Jim
