Didn't see much on the list about this (or did I miss it) but Hood dropped 2 different 2xLPs on Peacefrog recently.
One I think with the full-color jacket is "Point Black" (right?) PFG 027 which is also available on CD. I think there was a preview 12" called "Who Taught You Math"..but I haven't heard it. Are there tracks on that 12 that didn't make the LP? If so how are they? The other double-pack is what looked to me as an untitled 2x12 (PFG 029) but the first of 6 tracks is "The Art of War". After listening to them both I bought the latter one and it's continued to grow on me. Typical Hood-style minimal stripped-down funk techno kinda like 'Moveable Parts Chapter 2' or 'The Grey Area' on M-Plant, a bit darker and more brooding than other recent output, which I like. Some tracks are pretty uptempo and straightahead and don't change much, others are wider and more abstract. BTW- I still pull out 'The Protein Valve' now and then, short but killer tracks! What a master of the Detroit minimal sound. THere are few producers who can make tracks so funky yet so sparse. peace, Matt MacQueen
