My oh my, aren't we a little high on ourselves? Let us compare Mego vs Twine... Mego has over thirty releases all in pressings of around 1000 each - most of which have all sold out - whereas Twine have a handful of cdr releases and two official releases which are getting, at best, bland recognition from a handful of fanzines and mp3.com dwellers. Any one Mego label release has probably sold more than all Twine releases combined. Mego has a worldwide reputation and critical acclaim for excellence in experimental electronic music and has headlined at worldwide electronic music festivals whereas Twine is a regional US outfit which is most likely destined to be a career opening act and/or rave bill filler. Mego has a successful international e-business called MDos which sells music and merchandise from THE BEST experimental established and underground artists and labels around. At last check, Twine's music is not listed in their catalog. Coincidence? My point is that you dont have to like Mego's music or even respect all that Mego has accomplished, but dismissing it as simple shit that anybody could do is simply ignorant - especially from a musician who should know better!
