conscious compilation (do not pay more than 10.98 for this CD!) is

OBSERVATIONS & RESEARCH
-------------------------------------------
Stereotyp feat Tikiman-"Jahman"--G-Stone
If you know Peter Kruder's work with Fauna Flash as Voom:Voom, then
this new 12" from Kruder & Dorfmeister's G-Stone imprint is no
surprise. Fellow Austrian Stefan Mörth (aka Stereotyp) delivers a
leftfield dancefloor killer with vocal assistance from the legendary
Tikiman. Imagine the hardest of the hardcore ragga beats, dubbed and
re-grooved Vienna style, topped off with solid toasting and a
developing acid line ala Woody McBride. A wicked preview of the
forthcoming LP.
