A friend of mine in Detroit told me he's been
spinnin' this one heavily. But he also said UD has
been compared to J5 unfairly. In his words, J5 uses
that retro-textured style and takes it up a few rungs;
UD relies solely on that old school flavor. But shit,
after what Shane said, maybe we could all use a
different breath of air nowadays, huh?
Speaking of J5, I pulled up The Breaks page
yesterday to check out that Quannum Spectrum (somethin
was wrong with my RA program so I couldn't), but I did
read the transcript of Cut Chemist's interview.
From what he said, it sounds like the new J5 is
gonna be a little different as far as the beat schemes
and programming is concerned. Chemist said they're
using some experimental stuff they discarded when
making the EP. I've heard that single (what is it?
Improv?) and nuttin much sounds different. Anyone got
any word on what this new album is gonna be??

P.S. Chemist also said he's working on Lesson 5 and
hoping to pull in Shadow (for drum programming) and
Steinski (for dialogs)!!!
