Fave track on "Treddin' On Thin Ice" so far is "Special Girl". Love the FM-sheen, old skool 808 beats and those pitched-up diva sample loops that reveal a surprising (unintentional?) mind-meld with Kanye West's album. Lovin' the whole damn thing, actually. My only critisism at the moment being the fact that the 'defining' instrumental tracks like 'Eskimo' and 'Icerink' have been reduced to brief interludes. Shame, 'cause these tracks deserve a wider hearing in their full-length glory. A follow- up 'Instrumentalist' collection is sorely needed, in my view. Somethin' fer the chin-strokazzz...
