I realised that the Smoke City track isn't on the CD then, although it's
listed. I'm getting the vinyl version of the album anyway. Shame on them
they didn't include the Naima track by Nipnotic on it! Can anyone
tracklist+review this Laws of Motion release? I've been seeing the Ian
O'Brien remix of the track in some playlists and I'm curious about it.
BTW Nat, have you tried to play the Percapella remix of "Pra Manha" with a
pitch 9% higher? Totally rocks a dancefloor =)
