yes, I was really upset at how Mo Wax was marketing that UNKLE album more that year than the URBAN TRIBE album, which made the UNKLE album look like an amateurish student short film. It is such a deep album. And a few other 313 notables collaborated with sherard on this album, KDJ, Carl Craig, and Shake. I spoke to sherard after his set and he told me he has another project coming out on Mo Wax soon. Everyone needs to check out this album. It's up there with a few of the brilliant 313 albums in the past like Neil Ollivierra's (DEC) soundtrack [313]. a couple other records that I find real fresh and deep right now: Metro Area 2 on environ (morgan & darshan bringin' back that pgarage and music box feelin'!) CiM - Warm Data - focus (simon's stuff just keeps on getting better...definately filled with a lot soul and funk with killer sound design) minto
