I've been excited ever since I heard about this group. It is a marriage
between 2 of my favorite things ... jazzy hip-hop and bristolian drum and
bass represented by 2 of the best (Angel and Rob Smith of More Rockers and
Smith and Mighty). If anyone's got any proof that its out in Canada or
the US, please share it.

For more stuff in this vein check out Project 23 and teh latest Outside
LP's. I was lucky to find both 2LP's for under 5 dollars each after I let
them sit in Gramaphone records in Chicago for about 4 months (and keep
being discounted). Also, you really can't forget the old alex reece and
wax doctor stuff... though its a bit tame, it is pretty well produced
music in my opinion. DJ SS has put out 2 superb jazzy drum n bass mixed
compilations as well... and is probably the best known dj of this type of
stuff. Other than that I have tapes of all sorts of old italian and
french jungle from like 96 thatreally rocked me when it dropped. i think
some is (more) widely available on the IRMA and Source labels.
