I too am waiting for this to be available from UWLive, but I don't think it will appear in exactly the same form. APFC and Food a Ready will hopefully be there, but not sure that the JAL Remix will make it.

The samples sound godd. APFC sounds nearly the same as the dirtyradio version and FAR osunds a lot more chilled.

Well, the 30 seconds or so of Ancient Phat that iTunes lets you hear sounds the same as what we've heard. But that was a 5 minute version. i want to hear something of the other 14 minutes!

well for a 19min track its not all that different from the 30 second clip you heard. dont expect Thing in a Book out of this one. i really liked this track when they played it on DirtyRadio and i still really like it. 19min is a long time though.

has a distinctive Rez quality about it, meaning there is a dropout, rolling buildup almost like a storm moving in, heavy moment and then it fades just to buildup again.

the real surprise here is Food a Thought. 'Riding Home's new home. Very mellow yet interesting track. My fave of the single.

so those who have both Jal to Tokyo EP and Pizza for Eggs...

Is it still worth buying JTT EP?

Is 'Food' different?
Obviously 'Phat Farm' is... at least in length.

Thanks in advance for the info.

To get the full 19min+ version of Phat Farm you have to buy the whole EP, and the Woolford mix of JAL doesnt sound like the one he played on the essential mix either, I like it. Havent got Pizza For Eggs yet but as its quite a short song I suspect it will be the same, as JAL was on LBT/JAL EP.

this didn't answer my question.

is 'food a ready' the same as it is on the JAL TO TOKYO ep.

is there a longer intro or outro? I can't tell by the time that
it is longer on the JAL TO TOKYO ep (it's individual release).

thanks in advance for yer answersss.

Haven't tried this myself yet, but it should be possible to buy a iTunes Japan voucher from http://www.jlist.com/SEARCHES/itunes_japan/
They'll scan and email the card number to you, and provide an address in Japan to set up your iTunes account.
Only downside is that the JAL ep is 1500 yen, and the smallest card available is 2500 yen, which costs $30.
