i got this album quite a while back when it was very rare in the states (for one reason or another, it was just never released here, i think it may have something to do with difficulties in sample clearing...), and i found it to be a perfect addition to the usual ho-hum-iness of the trip hop genre. the album stays jazzy, but offers a slew of devious and sometimes subliminal pranks throughout (vibert's trademark style). in addition to the original 'big soup' album, the japanese version offered here also contains vibert's best stand alone single 'do unto others', which was a precursor to the release of 'big soup'. the tracks of 'do unto others' are the most solid hip hop tracks i've ever heard, and mirror some of the works on vibert's 'tally ho' album as wagon christ (both 'do unto others' and 'tally ho' were tracks rejected by james lavelle for the release of 'big soup'). this is undoubtedly one of the greatest trip hop albums of all time and yet another link in the chain of vibert's childishly brilliant works.

Woooowa there, I have had this album now for two years and every time I listen to it always sounds so fresh. One of the most talented guys on the block with some very fresh and funky beats. Yes Mate! Well worth a listen.

many hours and many games of need for speed has been played to this album. to the point of now when i play the game and i do not have the disc in the drive i still here the music if only i had a real car motivational, uplifting, and fast this is good stuff. oh and hanging out with herb may help the experience:)

If you like Luke Vibert, Wagon Christ, or any other Luke Vibert projects and you have never heard this album, YOU ARE MISSING OUT. Without a doubt the best Vibert album, and possibly one of the ten best electronic albums of the 90s. Every song stands on its own, or the album can be listened to straight through as a cohesive unit. Unfortunately this album is out of print, so if you can find it for less than 40 dollars BUY IT. If you're a vibert fan you won't regret it!!

luke vibert's sighly less intense album bring every "citizen of zanzibar" from the depths. catchy bass and spaced samples fill this must have anthem to the surroundings in modern day first world cities. almost ambient in its message it tells stories of angst and emancipation with beaty detail from a man that entertains through blatant convincing. watch out for tracks: 4,5,12 (1-13) aka: plug - the more dark drum n bass pseudonynm

Luke Vibert (AKA Wagon Christ) has put out a lot of cool stuff. He's from Cornwall, UK and I've read that all he does is smoke out and loop crazy samples. You'd enjoy WC's "Throbbing Pouch" --a heavy recommendation...
