That's probably because the label owner of Mo' Wax is UNKLE, and there are a number of more notable contributors from the main stream, like the Beastie Boys and DJ Shadow. Still a shame. I only have the 12" off the album, but love it. His older stuff on Mo' Wax is great too. I think part of the reason it got a cool reception is that it has a lot of Detroit influence, but it's released on a UK instrumental hip hop label.
