thats very interesting actually.  i hadnt noticed (purely cos I hardly listen to the album at all) except for on the beat to Uni B (cos thats the only recent song that I've listened to more than a few times cos it's greatness).  The beats on it sounds looped, cut and pasted.

at all. Just a bunch of parts that they jammed over
and over and then looped in pro-tools. In some places
it's so obvious it's downright embarassing. I imagine
the same approach was taken with the recording of
KJ2003, but my guess is that Andy Gill was the one
responsible for the lion's share of the arrangements,
keeping everything cohesive and colourful. Why else
would he get a co-writing credit on all the songs?
