haven't noticed anyone else mention this. i'm usually interested in "outside world" coverage to see how wrong they get it. i would've hoped wired would go beyond the normal chems/prodigy/dj spooky names, but not really, and the awful crystal method get to spout their obnoxious views like so, "This music sounds great on a dance floor, but in a car on the way to work it sounds really boring....." a collection of articles, it can be found starting at http://www.wired.com/news/news/sonic_boom/ also, funny nme review of new sq*p*r at http://www.soundcellar.com/reviews/squarep.html webless types who are interested can e-mail me off-list an' i'll attempt to forward the text, tho' there's a lot in the wired piece. -bub

Well, in reference to their own music, I'd say this is pretty accurate. Except for the bit about it being great on a dance floor. Their music is crap there as well. Greg
