"....since when do indie records come in a WEA box?"
Cold Vein is still a classic, it gets repeat listens round mine and has since it came out. I was so hyped for the release of it I literally did backflips in the record store when I found it.
I always felt Vordul was criminally underrated by Can O's Fans, even if he wasn't the sharpest freestyler he still managed to drop a few nuggets... His 'Yung Havoks' LP is far more realised than Vast's 'Look Mom...' which just sounds like a vanity project to me... and smells like someone let the hype surrounding his rhyming skills inflate his head.
However, Vasts new record drops soon, I'll probably check it... I doubt it'll get the kind of replays that Cold Vein does though... Stone Cold classic.
Can Ox did do a 12 with Pete Rock producing, if memory serves... called 'Cosmos' or something similar, it was a bit waste IMHO.
Great thread.
