I really think this set might surprise a lot of people who thing they know everything that Ben Sims is about. I heard him play a set with a similar crate a few months ago, which really blew me away. I certainly formed some really narrow and inaccurate perceptions about his musical interests when I first explored the music he makes and a couple of his DJ sets in the late '90s (which I enjoyed but weren't very broad), but over the last few years his bookings at Retrovert and Split (and what is played on the Split radio show) have opened my eyes a lot. The similar set I heard was definitely one of the highlights of my year, so I thought I'd pass this eagerly-awaited recording on, as his name pops up occasionally, and generally not always in the frame I think he deserves: http://www.splitmusic.net/gallery.asp.
