Mita posted a link for it mate, under the album cover. Is alright, more home listening than anything. Nice enuff for background music, but a bit too easily ignorable, if you get me.

That pic of Jeff on the floor is bizarre. I dunno about you lot, but the first thing that came to my mind was that my back would be stiff as f*ck after crouching bent over like that for an hour!

The music itself is pretty forgettable, especially when compared to his older work - it just sounds like a continuation thereof but without the initial spark that made his records funny. It seems it's all about the 'concept' these days, with the music taking 2nd place to cutting holes in the floor to install his decks in. Talk about "underground" eh ? I don't really understand the whole crawling about thing, it's just bizarre. Absolute back murder. Still, it's conceptual, so any thoughts of how ridiculous it is need banished in favour of thinking "wow, that's pretty clever to have thought of that - I get it".

Here's a photo of Steve Bicknell playing at Lost. I presume (though I'm not 100%, maybe he's 'at it' too) that he's sitting like this because he is playing before Mills and that's Jeffs setup there. Either that or it's just >ALL ABOUT THE SITTING AROUND< these days.
