No shit. BtU is up there in the ranks of new techno, exploring areas left
covered by most (except, say, Hy-Ryze). Even though it's a bit on the
fouronthefloor tip, EVERYTHING else I've heard from him has been poo poo
techno-house of the generic sort. Was BtU just an aberration, a result of
some curious inspiration gleaned from working with Mille Plateaux? Or was it
so good that he's just coasting now?
