(fax) DSOTM X

[Graham Banting]

Namlook has gone completely off the rails. DSOTM X and Koolfang 3 are two of 
the most disappointing releases on FAX in years for me (perhaps ever). 
Someone needs to take Pete's microphone away from him. Talk about amateurish 
vocals.

I really hope this isn't indicative of a new direction for FAX. I will 
seriously stop buying future releases if they are as lousy as these last two 
are; this coming from a guy who owns ~200 releases.
