the Opponent Process   -  Profile

Artist/Band Profile: Blend 1 cup Future Sounds of London with 2 cans of DJ Shadow and half a cup of the KLF, sautee till golden brown in a dark, ill sauce and garnish with wonked filter madness for texture. Sprinkle liberally with David Holmes and just a dash of DJ Food. Served best on headphones.
