In my recent playlist I said:
 
> Album of the Week: PULL THE PLUG, from London Electricity. There
> aren't too many drum'n'bass albums I can sit through from start
> to finish without getting restless, but this is certainly one of them.
> It's the jazziest, funkiest d'n'b I've heard since Mocean Worker's
> MIXED EMOTIONAL FEATURES, or some of the more recent releases on
> the Moving Shadow label. A well-rounded album that works well at
> home *and* on the dancefloor.

It has been called to my attention that not everyone likes
the Mocean Worker album I referred to in my review of London
Electricity. I certainly did not intend a back-handed compli-
ment; I was merely trying to draw a comparison with something
in recent memory. For me, the Mocean Worker album was varied
and clever. I cannot say that about his FIRST album, nor
any of the remixes I've heard since. But I do like the album.
Any other thoughts on it? I don't remember it being discussed
on the list before.
