some folks really like what they have been producing lately. i sure do.
but then again, i tend to be more into the teeky, psycadelic,
"experimental" side of things than the melodic side.. not to say i odnt
like a solid pop song now and then. (assuming here that you are arguing
that they have moved too far from the "musical"/traditional side of things
-- if that makes sense).
fuck, at least they havnt gone the silly drill and bass route of everyone
else and are still producing original material (though a couple tracks
came close :)
btw: is b. parmegiani the percussionist who somehow produced super complex
rhytms off his body or something? i seem to recall a friends talking
about him.
