PBO is still my favourite electronic hip hop act. Love his stuff, specially early Schematic and the Skam EP.

I'm lame at following up on my own comments

I don't have any of the stuff on Schematic. Is the Cash EP worh getting, or should I be going for the singles? (don't say both!)

Well the only thing that I dont think is 100% brilliant is the Ghetto Blaster LP on Chocolate Industries - thats a bit hit and miss IMO... Lodsa good remixes and compilation appearances as well. Cash Ep is great - and is effectively a single - though 'Dirty Dozen' compiles his early releases onto one CD.

[dave]

loved it - played twice already

[Sir Loris of Crowthorne]

It's bad isn't it ! (yes I meant that literally droid )

I just bought the Dirty Dozen CD. Cheers for the tip off.

[droid]

Cheers for the big-ups people... hope to god you like that CD Lawrie!

[Sir Loris of Crowthorne]

The Dirty Dozen has arrived. It's astonishingly good!

I was expecting something less wayward here, i'm not sure what exactly, but glad it was the opposite.

You can see his relationship with Warp come into play via a few of these tunes, but it also borders on Mo Wax (RPM, Olde Scottish, MFA) in places. Not strictly downbeat, just the sound of all his components working together. Couple of the tracks (Trot & You Got a Problem) are more acid-tinged than I like, but still really good nevertheless. It's a marvel!

and to think some of those tunes are from 96/97! all that new us stuff at was great at the time, but turned out to be a bit of a false dawn...


is the ae remix from the chocolate industry 12" on there btw?

[Sir Loris of Crowthorne]

Nope, doesn't feature on this.
