Two Fingers (inst) - Two Fingers (Big Dada)

I came across this by chance; my ol’ mate Cujo (Amon Tobin) from the Ninebar label days, along with Joe 'Doubleclick' Chapman, masquerading as a marauding robot Samba band armed with smart samples and pneumatic beats designed to blow your head - great stuff. ‘Subway Rhythm’ revives Prototype-era D&B, complete with the ‘hoover’ bass line, but mostly this extended mutation of the hip-hop original marches to a different drummer, programmed to pound you into submission with devious rhythms and sheet-metal percussion which should shake anyone out of their post-Xmas torpor.
