I have to agree with Andrew here (at least about Plock being a bit of a
let-down; not sure about MCFP as I've only heard the first 7").  I loved
the Plone 7" on Wurlitzer and ordered the 12" of Plock last week--it just
came this morning, and I've only listened to it once, but it wasn't
nearly what I'd hoped for after the 7".  I know Plone have a track on a
Warp compilation--do they have anything else out?
