Veggie,

First off big thanks to Deesha and Sandi for giving the review the once over and for the pleasent compliments . I'm grateful.

Sandi thanks for the link, great track i have loved some of Neneh Cherry and Tricky's stuff seperately and they are both wayward genius' but maybe combining i the formula for the producing their best stuff ??

Peace people

B

sandi & buddah.. how did you hook up with the reviews? I was on the list for a while, but after mehmet was no longer involved it seemed to stop. I think I got to one after that and then nothing, is there a new contact?
holla back

Nice review Buddah!

CD's are being sent out Saturday. I'm going to be ghost for a few days while I recover from a minor procedure I'm having done tomorrow.

Much love to my GS crew, Deesh

PS Buddah - cool review by the way (smile). I'm reviewing The Good, The Bad & The Queen. Hopefully it will be posted soon.

No sweat! Veggie thanks for the email January treat. I'll have yours, Buddah, Future and I forgot who else (short term memory is a mother) mailed out in a few days.
