Great Oddjob track, which led me to their Myspace and more good stuff. Thanks.

Just back from their Myspace site and Lars above was definitely not boasting, their recent work is even better. Actually, this is the most intelligent popular music I have heard this year so far. Elephants Run is a truly awesome track, really groundbreaking, and Velho Samba is an extraordinary bit of Brazilian fusion, gripping yet complex. Bravo!

Eh, I should really have expressed my thanks earlier, but I have been lazy : this #15 really is a great show, with some really groovy rare & overlooked classics. Hats off to Ms 101. Jazz is too often unimaginatively played by boring old farts for other boring old farts. Not there, for sure. Even the Satie reworking by Jimi Tenor at the end is good and really, after trying for so long, I thought I had finally given up for good on that guy.[BTW, I know you follow Motel de Moka and Squashed there has chosen & posted 7 great jazz tracks with an edge - be sure not to miss them.]
