I would be really interested to hear some more reactions to the thinking going on here/what ppl think of the LP etc?

Amazing interview, i could have sat reading what those guys had to say for hours, really insightful stuff.

I haven't managed to listen to the album the whole way through yet, it just arrived today, but one of the things that struck me about the overall sound was that it was kind of a mirror image of a lot of modern asian music.

I live in whitechapel, and every day i walk past the station with the market stalls blaring this weird fusion of traditional bollywood - style sounds, but with a fairly stereotypical 909 house beat underneath, or in some cases it's got a hip hop feel. Like they've taken stuff from New York and Chicago and chucked it underneath.

This album feels like the opposite, with dubstep (and early dubstep at that really) as the foundation, but on top of that you get the Lata samples, or Farrah singing, or the Cheng from The Bits scattered over the top.

Hope that made any kind of sense.

yeah deep i'm gonna go hang out at the market and think about that.

how we gonna have a reading group when you're in ottowa?!? you'll have to post up your dissertation on here or something....
