Well, I have not heard the Render Bandits LP but the two tracks on the "Deutscher Funk" compilation on Caiprinha are _amazing_ - literally some of the most exciting songs I heard all year. Nothing "standard," IDM or otherwise, about either of them, at all. In fact, I was rather surprised to find out that Jan Werner was involved - I thought it was some random German guy I never heard of with Jaki Liebzit on drums. According to the liner notes, both were exclusive (one was a remix of someone else, the other one said "exclusive") but can't be sure. They were so good that I would say the comp really isn't worth buying if the tracks are on the LP - by far the best tracks (except for Mouse on Mars - Chromantic which is on the Instrumentals album anyways). Not that the comp is bad - there's some quite decent stuff on there, but there's a good deal of mediocrty too (the Pole track was particularly underwhelming). --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto
