something like that. The Automator is on all of
the releases, since he's the other half of Dr
Octagon. I've heard (very sadly, IMO) that they're
doing no more releases.

Re: 'T2000', Method Man's new album, I'd say it's
pretty consistent, compared to his first, but that
'Tical' had more stand out tracks. There is one
track on 'T2000' with a pretty unconventional (for
hip-hop) beat moving in triplets, which may be
what was getting whoever posted excited... I don't
know which tracks are singles.

To bring some threads together, people might want
to check out the collaboration between Method Man
and Red Man. ;) It was a 12" called 'How High' and
has some of my favourite moments from both of 
them.

np. 'The All Electric House' - The Voice Stealer
(I finally picked this up, and it's well worth it
if you like quite antiseptic (ie. 'nu skool')  
electro... although I find some of the vocal
tracks a bit unintentionally funny)
