[Dynagroove] Herbert/Ursula Rucker Review

[dude luci]

Matthew Herbert is without a doubt one of the most intriguing electronic 
musicians. I just picked up the 1996 double pack entitled "Part 1 2 3" and 
it is Herbert sublime house-y-ness ..another thing to check out is the 
Herbert remix of Cafe de Flore (Doktor Rockit) on Lifelike. The best use 
I've ever heard of an accordion on a house track. Absolutely brings a smile 
to my face with every listen.
