getting back to the subject, some thoughts on the cd. It was more housey than I expected, it takes a while to pick up but I quite like some of the tunes on the way there, percs and drums, farenzer house and the vocal tune with the "japanese drums" bit. Premier Encuentro Latino-Americano is the standout track tho, I think I could listen to that tune for hours and still dance.
there's been so much hype around minimal though, like people have mentioned upthread. I don't think Berlin, Villalobos or the Panoramabar, to mention three examples, will live up to the expectations of anyone who has read lot's of Sherburne et al (not to fault their writing, the hype is just feeding of itself).
