And I'm talking like -12%, not some weasle -5%. Really, most of the IDM I have sounds so much better slowed down. Very rarely does it sound cool sped-up. The Orbital is just an exception. I don't like their slow stuff as a rule, so maybe that's why I don't like too much Snivilization, I guess. Just a little FYI! :p -- Brian Hostetler http://sparrow.bio.indiana.edu/brian/me '...most of it is radical hip drug culture overload.
