I didn't expect to enjoy myself but I did, his schtick makes so much more sense boomin' live. He also played a DJ set for the warm up, incl. Fuck U Sign, Pass That Dutch and Flat Beat! I danced my ass (and a coupla other things too) off, and if you get the chance to catch him live I say definitely go for it. Even if ur a hater, like I was.

i didn't think pressure was particularly amazing at the time, i loved the bug singles (esp w/warrior queen) but it seemed a bit monotonous over a whole album. might dig it out to listen w/new ears, but i'm pretty sure that in terms of the album format (if not nec the bug's skillz), london zoo (which i've started rinsing again w/the advent of freezing weather) is a gigantic and awesome leap fwd.

warrior queen remains one of the most thrilling live MCs i have ever seen btw. fierce and righteous and never less than 100% captivating

oh god i just remembered where i first saw her! NYE 04/05, house party where she and the bug were playing, i got v drunk and babbled to her for ages afterwards about how great she was :(

TO ALL THEM FUCKING PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME, LOOK PON THE STATE OF YOUR HOME.
The album is immense. The argument at the top of this thread seems kind of quaint now as London Zoo slots in perfectly alongside grime and dubstep. I actually wish there was more grime that sounded as DEEP as the Flo Dan tracks on here. I'm glad he found a new home for his verse on Bounce as well.

that's akin to saying that any techno with compression on the 909 (ie any techno made outside detroit) isn't "real" techno.

Yeah you're right. Back in the days before the internet it would have been hard to check that sort of thing.
