    Been waiting for someone else to post about that sound. I think everyone
    else thought I was crazy when I went looking for it. I apparently never
    described it correctly, but I think our Brooklyn homeboy, Ad Ease, hit it on
    the head.

    >>
    >>I'm still trying to figure out if the stuff he was playing was old or new

    >>UFO's Loud Minority. AWESOME!!! If anyone can suggest any recordings to
