If you say so. Nothing but a filler to me with the typical/predicatable-Dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun M_NUS bassline. Nothing has changed. All 3 make the same basslines over and over and over.

The best tracks by Troy/Mark always have a vocal snippets.

Magdas is ok, but she clearly samples the fixation vocal which has been used/heard many times before and the acid flick thats been used in multiple tracks.

This is nothing new or forward thinking or any new direction for their own musical output after the separation.

Once a M_NUS always a M_NUS :)

Not to mention whats up with the triangle logo? Visionquest much.

God im a nerd.

so true.

dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun ...

im amazed how magda could get this big in the scene.
she produces like every 5 years a album were every track sounds the same
she never was even remotly a good DJ which ended now in traktor sync only sets.

i wouldnt book this girl even if she would play for free.

The thing is that is one of the most epic bass lines of all times. So go figure.

I was compelled to go and listen to the forthcoming Items & Things release after reading the last few comments here and well, yeah, it just sounds to me exactly how Minus sounded five years ago and reminded me why I stopped listening to said artists.

I'll listen again in five years time and maybe then they will have finally established their 'creative, forward thinking sound' that was obviously so restricted by Minus :roll:

I'd thought Richie (or M-nus) allow his artists to be free in terms of doing their thaang... I guess not.
