Good point. Really the thing I think I hate the most is the lack of bass control. Sometimes the kicks are almost drowned by the bassline and other times it's soo loud you can hear the machines doing their best to just compress the fxck out of it in compensation. As a result of the overcompression, the bass frequencies end up feeling hollow and muddy. But I'm anal about that and still fight with bass control on my own stuff sooo.... > im not saying that theyre similar, only that the reasons you > stated for liking the JM stuff are similar to the reasons i > like the omar-s stuff. Oh. Okay. Yeah that makes sense and is pretty much true with me too. > BTW track #8 is out on 12" and has been for a couple months now..... Yeah I know, I was holding out on it cause I was hoping it would be on the vinyl lp and I could get them all at once. No such luck. I've got a secret hole in my closet that, if I stick my hand in and say the magic words, I can pull my hand out with a copy of the "12. hope that thing still works. :) And NO alex, you do not have to be nude to use the closet. And we'd prefer if you didn't put that thing on your head either. :) (get well soon, I'm sending you some charmin to wrap around your butt.) Kamal K.
