    OBSERVATIONS & RESEARCH
    -------------------------------------------
    *The Lithium Project-Passa Fundo-Hydrogen Dukebox*
    Six diverse cuts above the rest, make The Lithium Project rise above
    of a sea of derivative artists. Precise drums and deft orchestration
    put the drum & bass title cut somewhere within the realm of early
    London Electricity, the experimental 'live' spirit of Squarepusher's
    "Music is Rotted One Note" and Isaac Haye's epic funk soundtracks.
    Also included; 3 drum and bass pieces of synthesizer bliss, injected
    with some detailed drum programming; a Detroit style, melodic techo
    rework of "Passa Fundo" slightly on the brokenbeat side; and an
    incredible, 13 minute free jazz fusion workout, that owes inspiration
    to far too many 70's masters to mention here.

    *Boswick Gates-?-Colourform/Om 12" (Test)*
    Simon Richmond of Palmskin Productions and Charlie Tate of King Kooba
    turn out a wicked debut for Om Record's new 2 step/nu breaks
    sublabel, Colourforms. One side offers up an unconventional bit of 2
    step, layered and undulating with dubbed out elements; while the flip
    offers one of those relentless tech-house rollers (complete with a
    shuffling four on the floor beat and a rumbling bassline) that
    somehow gets swept up into the sets of UK Garage, progressive, techo
    and freestyle DJs all the same.

    [5] SPECIAL THANKS
    Special thanks to Kim Schlechter for all of her editing expertise and
    advice. From the A.a. CD, to flyers and this Lab Report, thanks for
    keeping us on track.
