I'll download those songs later. sweatdrop
I have 'kakusei' which I think is good but not great. Just standard trip hop stuff with bits and pieces of Krush's usual exotic sampling.
The new album though, 'Jaku', I downloaded ( crying ) and it floored me. Great samples, great cuts, great beats... great!

I'll get my sister to download it. I usually like buying the album and listening to it at work on repeat but now that you've praised it, I REALLY want to hear it! Thanks.

I've only ever heard that one song he did with CB Mass, and I didn't dig it too much. But thanks for the downloads, I'll check them out.

Nalfein He does one song with Aesop Rock. I haven't heard it. I'm not too big a fan of Aesop Rock, although I do agree with my friends that he's a decent lyricist. I'll look on half.com for Krush albums.

I don't like all songs by DJ Krush either. That one song with Boss the MC on Zen was pretty lame.
