Written by bothers Robin and Simon Lee (one track co-written by Ben Mitchell), this came out in 1997 on Nuphonic records, a label which at that time was at the forefront of the evolving house music... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178232331908 Tue, 29 Mar 2005 12:27:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178232331908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178197925508?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - This, Massive Attack's 2nd album, was a transition album (already!). Tricky was now a guest. Shara Nelson gone. In came guest vocalists Nicolette and Tracy Thorn and Sara Jay (I think, she is here, then later sang on "Presence"'s debut album). Tracy... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178197925508 Tue, 29 Mar 2005 03:29:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178197925508?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175974420100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - Context: I have owned several very compact digicams (digital cameras) before this, including the Casio QV-R40 and the Pentax Optio S4. I generally buy only very small (ultra-compact) digicams, because my usage pattern is that I need the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175974420100 Tue, 8 Mar 2005 17:22:54 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175974420100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175121469060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - This album is worthwhile yes, BUT more as a historical document than in its own right. I say this in all honesty as a huge fan of Jazz, Guru himself and Gang Starr as a collective. I thought this album was gutsy in intent, but okay result at best. I have... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175121469060 Tue, 1 Mar 2005 11:59:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175121469060?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175029915268?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - I actually like this album better than (the better known) "Hearsay". The uptempo songs at the beginning are just filler. In contrast, the slow songs at the end are absolutely killer, priceless material. They are SO good that they still carry the mediocre... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175029915268 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 16:15:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175029915268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_174636306052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - I ended up buying the Echo Indigo because my laptop sound card & headphone output was just very lame. No point in having 30GB of MP3 on your laptop - and not being able to listen it is indecent quality. The Echo Indigo is a PCMCIA type II card with a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~174636306052 Thu, 24 Feb 2005 23:17:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_174636306052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_174629686916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - I own this album in CD format. It is actually one of the first CD's that I ever owned. This album never sold well and Blaze never made another one for the label (Motown), but its a sleeper nonetheless. The context here is 1990: at this point, house... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~174629686916 Thu, 24 Feb 2005 22:28:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_174629686916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_174496452228?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - I have had this device for about 6 months so far. Overall, it was a good one for the price (I only paid US$35). At that price, it represents solid value. The DG 824M is a "Swiss Army Knife" type of device, functioning as an ADSL Modem, Gateway,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~174496452228 Wed, 23 Feb 2005 20:35:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_174496452228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_161929399940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - This is apparently Joseph "Amp" Fiddler's debut solo album. He comes with a hefty reputation as one of the musicians in the forefront of the "modern soul" music world. I was not impressed. Nothing here hasn't already been done by D'Angelo or others -... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~161929399940 Tue, 16 Nov 2004 21:34:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_161929399940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_150830812804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - LOCATION The Rainbow Gyldenlove Hotel in Oslo is at a very convenient location, on a street called "Bogstadvein" in the Majorstua area. Majorstua is an upscale residential and shopping neigbourhood, near to the best park in Oslo(Frogner/Vigelands park)... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~150830812804 Sun, 8 Aug 2004 10:39:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_150830812804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141452086916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - I got this Baldessarini Eau de Cologne for $26 on Canal St in New York City. I had tried it to the duty free in the Airport but they were asking a ridiculous price - $45. Why pay more than you have to? You can also get this thing for around $29 at... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~141452086916 Wed, 26 May 2004 07:33:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_141452086916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141390810756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - CONTEXT As an up-front disclaimer, this review is not going to dwell on specs.

I looked at the website, called and was pleasantly surprised to find a professional and curteous person unlike the sales hustlers of most camera sellers. They took my order and it was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~141360205444 Tue, 25 May 2004 16:15:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_141360205444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141356011140?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - The Pentax Optio S4 is supposedly the smallest 4MP digital camera in the word. In the research I did before buying it, that seems to be the correct. The nearest competitors are the Casio Z4/Z40 (close but bigger) and the Canon S400 series (not even close... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~141356011140 Tue, 25 May 2004 16:00:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_141356011140?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141325930116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - This is a brief review of the Sony Ericsson T610 mobile phone. I will not go into stats or specs here. The phone has been around for a while and that sort of data is easily found elsewhere. I'll just stick to a user perspective of this phone.

I leave that to the reviewers on professional sites. What I will try to do here is give a consumer perspective of this camera. I bought this camera for $189 on Ebay in... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~133464886916 Tue, 16 Mar 2004 22:09:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_133464886916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_115153669764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author skagen - CONTEXT I am long time ultra-portable laptop customer, having previously owned the Actius PC-A100 which I used from 1998-2000, when until it gave up the ghost.
