I quite like this King Cannibal album on Ninja Tune. It reminds me of the kind of thing I liked a few years ago, got bored of, not heard of in ages and I now quite like it again 'cos no one is really doing this sort of thing these days. It's a mix of dancehall, grime, techno, drum n' bass smothered in darkness. Man, this is well dark.... It's not getting off with your mum dark... It's got that dark paranoid feel about it where you think someone is watching over you all the time. 'Virgo' is well Ghislain Poirier sounding what with the French rapping over it and the whole dancehall thing going on. I'm not sure why this is a CD only release?? I think perhaps most of the tracks have been out on vinyl before so it serves as a nice digital companion for those who can't be arsed with downloads. Still, there's no excuse for jewel cases in this day and age. Let The Night Roar is totally slicing..... Many thanks to the Ninja Tune label.
