thanks for the support buddy. with the lack of press and poor reviews we've been getting, i was beginning to wander whether anyone was listening at all.

I liked what I heard first time around. I was planning on doing a review at some point in the next week or so. When it's done, I'll fire a link up on here.

There's none to see other than a couple of shops, and with the amount of stuff released nowadays, it's easy to get buried very quickly if the right people aren't behind you. With any debut release from a project, I'm always hoping that everyone will be as into it as I am, and I'm generally disappointed. Very naive, and I never seem to learn.

Great to see that you guys are all feeling it though so thanks everyone.

We've got a remix coming out in August so stay tuned on the blog and myspace - links below....don't want to hype it too much at the moment and some of you guys probably already know the details.

We've got a big pile of fresh dubs cut and I'm currently doing DJ sets solo on our behalf while we get the live set together. I've been basically playing all Cloaks from dubs for 40mins or so, seems to be enough. I don't fuck about beat-matching, just selecting, Jah Shaka style!

The live set is coming along, but will probably be a few months in the waiting, we're hoping to have it ready for late this year, rehearsed and out properly early next.

If anyone wants to book me in the meantime?.........

Yes yes! Today is the great day the album finally arrived @ my place!

Listening right now and t's BIG, absolutely my kind of taste!

Live show should be very BIG too! A must have explored exploration for me.

thanks for the kudos. obviously, most of the album material is very old to us now. hopefully we can put things out quicker now that i'm releasing it!!! the second album is well on the way.

we're actually just DJing at the prague gig as we still dont have a live set. should still be good though - you'll definitely get to hear a load of stuff from the album as well as loads of fresh dubs.

can't wait!

thanks for noticing.....

always makes me laugh when i read interviews with "producers" who make entire tracks in a day. it can take us months.

maybe we're just rubbish.....
