No, the Chem Bros (and as the dust bros) have been around longer than a year and a half. As far as having only one album, that's wrong cause the have a variety of singles as well with tunes not on the mainstream US release. I believe the point is that they must not have done anything new, where most of the rest of the acts which performed at Organic had new material and new releases (meat beat, orbital, orb with one coming soon.) You must understand that electronic recording artist are expected to have new material, remixes, etc. while out and about. Hey, they're not some lame ass rock n roll band who plays the same old tunes with every show. The standards are radically different in the electonic/ techno medium.
quoted 2 lines cover the techno scene. Why should anyone ever buy URB when we have IDM> cover the techno scene. Why should anyone ever buy URB when we have IDM > and Muzik? I hope that URB can improve or catch up.
