> lekebusch peaked in quality with his early hybrid years IMHO, nowadays it's just boring sad drumcodeish stuff with a few exceptions, like the somewhat dubby 'stealin music'-album released under the name mr. james barth, but that one didn't stick on me either.. so, duh, i'd say he used to be more interesting.. hybrid used to be rockin minimal: danijel alpha, alexi delano (who these days produces boring stuff too, IMHO), jean-louis huhta, crushed insect & sick puppy, ron maney, akilah bryant. stopped releasing good music about a year ago when the abstract soul (jana clemen) album and the 'sons & daughters of the rising' 4x12" collection came out.. sons & daughters freaked out a bit mixing all kinds of styles like d'n'b (never ever even released on hybrid before), hiphop and such.. guess that was what triggered it. after that he changed cat. nr. and the newer releases all sounded like drumcode.. bleah
