You make a good point, Lance, but I wouldn't go so far as to say "the
real wizards behind BDP" was Plaid. Yes, they have the rhythms and
basslines down to a tee, and their well-crafted breaks will help anyone
perfecting their breakdancing rountines get into their tracks, but they
lack the emotional and feeling side to "listening music". You MUST have
total control of both to be one of the most outstanding and
long-surviving so called "IDM" groups out there.
Ken would be proud.
Brown-Nosing was unintentional...
