I like the People comp as well, but I suppose the thing that differentiates
that from say Family Planning/Co Operation/The Good Good is that the latter
are all mostly previously unreleased material. The Likwid Biskit (in
particular the amazing "Sound Orgy"), SK Radicals and Ian O'Brien tracks
really pressed my buttons from that one.
As for "Out Patients" - I'd say "yes". That's definitely been one of my most
played compilations in the last year, and a lot of it sits nicely alongside
the People etc output. Lianne Carroll's "The Trap" is one of my favourite
tunes of the year.
Seiji? Hasn't he recorded as Psyan? He's also half of Tonkatsu (with Mark de
Clive Lowe), part of Neon Phusion, and of course G-Force & Seiji :-) I love
his tune "Into The Now" - that's what I call bass!
Got to admit, I'm in two minds about the term "shiki", but it's certainly
saved me some typing. Who wants to keep writing West
London/House-Not-House/Broken Beat?
