I haven't listened to Subtropic enough to analyze it this closely yet, but it's style appeals to me much more than T-Power. The open, clean sound of Subtropic works much better than the often very syrupy stuff on T-Power. I have to admit I like them both much better when they're not working so hard at sounding like some kind of idm-crossover.
