This should be sick. I remember first hearing The Bug when I heard his remix of Thom Yorke's "Harrowdown Hill" and I was just blown away. Can't wait for this album to drop!

Any idea which ones will be released on the vinyl version?

i would guess it would be 2xLP with the 8 tracks which are not already on vinyl (inc. 'angry')

hopefully they'll be some dub versions along at some point, as with pressure---> aktion pak (cd)

Rekon they'll chuck in Jah War seeing as its now out of press?

obviously you're intimately familiar with the 3 big plates off here but there is so much more to the record than that. depth you might not necessarily expect from a bug record. judgment with ricky rankin for instance, oozes groove and rnb soul and bass in perfect combination.

also warrior queen referencing tears for fears is a personal highlight.

just heard this tune, fuckin hell

thought it would be the same vocals as the kode 9 version, but spaceape is just on some next level here

Finally got this a few days ago...

I'd always known it, but this really reinforces what a sonic genius the bug is, his drums are untouchable.

This has to be one of the most pissed off, paranoid and oppressive albums i've ever heard, and in such a good way, it's not an adolescent male rage thing, more like some heart of darkness shit.

And then there is You and Me about 3/4 in which completely flips that.

Seriously, along with the Blackdown & Dusk album this is probably my favourite release of the year
