The "OK" I do own now is a bootleg, and I have no regrets. With the condition of the packaging, I reckon this was purchased circa 1998-99 in Vietnam, where I was there for a job. I remembered vaguely the set-up of the shop, which was floor to ceiling covered with CD album covers ... how I actually picked up this particular CD however, remains a "lost memory". More likely it was recommended by the shop owner (which I will be ever grateful for) when I mentioned my listens then - which would've included Thievery Corporation and it's fellow DnB soundscape.
In this post I will showcase a full album listen for, cheers.
