“bundling downloads”
cheers for all the comments - it really helps us prioritise upgrades and fixes. We're aware that many of you have asked for the selections to be bundled into one package for downloading purposes, just to let you know that it's on our to-do list along with other nice improvements and features - watch this space!

“Alarm Will Sound... so lovely”
I absolutely adore the Alarm Will Sound cover, I put in on one of my radio shows at the beginning of this year (see link). The accompanying album is incredibly faithful to other - lets face it - quite hardcore skittering Richard D James numbers. I think quite often covers offer little to the existing platter but this is almost a warm academic exercise. Superb.

“Sly & Robbie... the James Last of reggaedub?”
The once great Sly & Robbie have now become the James Last of reggaedub. Satanicpornocultshop did a dark and very disturbing version of Kylie Minogue's 'Can't get you out of my head' some time ago (worth to track down, surely better then the 'Slow' cover here). Best track of this selection is Andy Stott's reinterpretation of Claro Intelecto.

“shinehead”
shinehead version is cool bit also overused, i have at least a half dozen compilations with his version on. I second that comment about the Alarm Will Sound vs Aphex Twin track, it's quite exceptional. I love how they've made acoustic bass noises sound so electric. gonna get myself the album if it's all this good....

“yes, a total keeper”
after buying and playing the chinese selection from last week virtually twice a day for the last week have enjoyed this one very much too, especially the fennesz and helioos. the Samamidon albums come very highly recommended by the way, for those of you who dont know themm.

“Articles”
Why dont you do some editorials which link in to the selections? I remember when the downloads launched and you had the Type one. That was great. Keep up the good work Katters.
