If your a fan of Air, Portishead, Thievery Corporation, and Massive Attack then I recommend this album if you didn't get it. It's a great downtempo trip hop album released in '98. I didn't hear about it when it came out. I found it digging around All Music Guide some time around '02. I put this one up there as one of my favorite trip hop albums. It's not hard like the Chemical Brothers. It's more downtempo and stonery. He uses a lot of vocal and sound samples on the album. The beats are hip hop and breakbeat. He also uses some South American beats to accompany the techno and sounds from R&B and Funk. Katrina Mitchell of The Pastels provides vocals to the track "Love Me Sweet". That's a very pretty song. I bought the two disc version. The second disk is alright but it's not that sooper great. It's more filler and the songs don't really go in any sort of order or relate to the album very well. I think you would be pleased getting just the album and not ever knowing what was on that second disc. If you have albums by the artists I mentioned above and you missed out on this one like I did then I recommend checking it out.

downloaded, listened, liked. Thanks for the recommendation.
LadyC, I guess what goes around comes around. From acrossed the pond you keep me informed about what is going on in my back yard (http://mog.com/music/DJ+Shadow) and now Fistula has introduced you to an artist from your neck of the woods. Ironic and cool....

Kid Loco is pure dope - sugary dope. I guess you have meanwhile the other album too: "Jesus Life For Children Under 12 Inches" and his DJ Kicks.
Kid Loco was brought to me by a guy in a record store, when this ablum came out, though I wanted to have something "harder". But well, meanwhile I'm pretty lucky, that I kept the album ;).

It really is a great album. I had it on a list forever to buy and was glad when I got it. I actually never got his other albums but I do have quite a few other tracks and remixes. He's makes some really smooth music.
