Sanguinearts Network Journal

Hello fellow readers, Keith checking in here for the first time...

For the purpose of the Sanguinearts blog you may or may not already know me as Mr Teeth, check the Sanguine Arts website for more details on such things as White Cliff Sands, negativePANDA and various reviews and such like kindly posted on mybehalf by Benjamin_Sanguine.

Ok back to the subject title, it's not a review as such but just some thoughts that I wanted to share with y'all.

My trip into work this morning had musical delights in the form of Public Enemy, which after 20 years in the game have released yet another album proving they are as strong as ever... the production on PE albums has always been a big thing, and with a recent album having been Public Enemy feat Paris the sound to me seemed quite different and the extra MC adding a whole different angle and now with the new one they've added a few more live instruments (like their recent live performances) plus a track with KRS-One so once again PE are proving how great they are... which I already knew... sorry I'm quite excited about the album, plus works rubbish and I'm in avoidance mode.

Any way, work, best get to it, thanks for listening.
