Of course not and I really admire the fact that each of EBTG's albums is different; from the most Basia-like sounding "Language of Life" (which is actually my favourite) to "Walking Wounded" - and, what's even better, more or less all they've done is really good. > I admire their guts in doing something different so > late in their careers.

Actually I thought that Ben's production made it quite unique - at least the house tracks, because the slower, more acoustic ones were much more "old" EBTG. > > Electronic music is the future > Nuh, uh, it's two-step! ;) I really, seriously hope that the records like "Fill me in" or Kandi's "Don't think I'm not" are the future of R&B, yes, because R&B was boring as hell in the late Nineties... > Coldplay- Parachutes > *sigh* If you're in the UK, believe the hype.

En Vogue as in "Basia needs to get en vogue" :) Some stuff _I_ discovered this year (and yes, I do mean 2001) - The Orb: Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld, double album - totally recommended. "Loving You", the 20 minute opus is too erotic for words...
