Yet another alias for the ever-prolific Luke Vibert, taken this time from the late British TV personality Eamonn Andrews (the host of "What's my line?"). Amen worship is in total full effect, with beats-per-minute ranging from a relatively tame 140 to a brain-shattering 194. Echoing years of hardcore and jungle sounds, with samples and ideas pulled from all over the place, you could spend weeks dissecting these tracks. With the exception of the CD all of these releases were Reflex promos and remain relatively hard to come by. Definite highlight for me is release #03, which reconstructs Babylon and Hitman into new post-millennial gorgousity. "Eat mushrooooooommmmmmmmmmmm..." At any rate, this seemed like the natural followup post to my "Amen, Brother" post yesterday.. FYI, these are V0 rips with the exception of the CD which is 192k. I'll try to remember to post Vibert's Plug - Drum 'n Bass for Papa somewhere down the like too, it's still a wonderful album from that place and time.
