rolling. Oh, I have had most of it since it was released (yeah, another of those pre-teen breakdance freaks <g>) and play it all more than is strictly healthy, but I was simply stating that Craig, in my very humble opinion, has taken his sound to much more varied pastures and has done more to innovate than anyone else I can think of in what is a *dangerously* weak American electronic scene. Mad Mike is someone I wouldn't like to compare to Craig though, the sounds they make are so different.
