...Virginian with a deadly gift for describing human, or at least American, types. He has written about counterculture, astronauts, Wall Street and race in the New South. But the underlying theme is always manliness. Spending some 10 years writing each of his novels Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968), The Right Stuff (1979), The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987) and A Man in Full (1998) are decade-defining classics.

It's a dark reality that Mike Wallace (a deft...
...sampling that makes this disc more than just forgettable rave fodder. Aphrodite's usual hip-hop soundbites are topped with a mix of organic, ambient clips ranging from jazz horns to ethereal female vocals. Especially notable is the fun treatment of the rude saxophone lick from DJ Kool's party anthem "Let Me Clear My Throat" on the track "B. M. Funkster." A solid contribution to the drum 'n bass catalogue and a good choice for the budding electronic music fan looking to explore the world beyond the Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim...
