You may want to try uncook, I used this eons ago, but haven't needed it in at least 5 years now. Give it a shot, though, it won't hurt.

It's an excellent album, btw.

Does it reach the level of Mezzanine?

...and does it have signature songs on it like Teardrop and Inertia Creeps? Since you don't know how and what they were encoded with...help MA out and go buy the CD...then rip em yourself...you'll sleep better at night (you can replace the sheep with Liz Fraser).

Sorry, try this, it'll work on XP

Then, IF you like it, go buy it, that's how it should work!

As for a review, can't say I'm a massive MA fan, after a couple listens didn't notice any standouts, no, but I did enjoy the overall atmosphere (Tricky's darn good at that). And it had a different "aura" about it, definitely a progression for them.

thanx man but that was a flop again... :-*
never mind i'll buy it when it comes out... [my girl loves it].
i agree  on the review Blue lines and protection were the bests... can say to much about tricky as he is bit too unhappy to my personal taste.
moe of a LAMB fan...
thanx again! ;)

It is my duty to report that "100th Window" is teriffic. As good as Mezzanine overall. More trance like than anything they've done prior. Very smooth and melodic. Similar in style to some of Chicane's stuff. Run (don't walk) to your nearest outlet and pick it up!
