I have to comment on Andy Smith. Yes at the concert he plays some great
tunes, and yes he does some ok DJing here and there, but is he really as
special as evryone is making him out to be. I guess many people dont
realize that the songs on the album are not new compositions. Im just a
bit bitter cause people have been raving about his "mixtape" when in fact
there are much better DJ mixtapes out there. The album is ok, because it
has some really nice OLD songs, but it is
nothing special in my opinion.It seems like many people are
just on his jock because he is associated with Portishead. Just my $0.02
cents.
