Y'know, even when I was a hardcore rivethead back in the 80s, I never
really liked FLA. Leeb was such a blatant rip-off artist right from the
beginning.
Before he'd even released anything as FLA, a friend dubbed me a copy of his
first solo demo tapes, and they were a complete burn of the stuff Skinny
Puppy was doing while he was a member. From then on, it's been one rip-off
after another.
FLA was also one of the few industrial/EBM shows back then that I walked
out of due to boredom.
And even his side-projects are almost completely based on the work of
others. The early Delerium material was chock full of samples from The Orb
and FSOL and such. And then when Enigma got popular, he jumped on the
"chanting monks over boring beats" bandwagon and made a killing.
