I think this record falls less in the "bad" category and more in the very solid arena. Meaning it doesn't push boundaries like say, Pole two years ago or Porter Ricks 3 years ago, but instead comes across with the quality of a Plaid release - nothing shocking, but well-crafted. There hasn't been any Yunx (or Iyunx) that I've heard that has disappointed me, but little that has shaken the fibre of my existence, either. And I find that in itself refreshing. Tunes that make me tap my feet and hum along.

Really? "Some" BDP stuff is truly fantastic and stands out head and shoulders above the crowd (vanttool, aaxmus, VIR2I, Merck, Object Orient) but there is also filler and stuff that hasn't aged as well. I would actually compare them in many ways to Yunx. They both sound somewhat similar with a lot of stellar, if unspectacular tunes. Sorry if I tied all of these performers too closely together, but that's just the way their sounds strike me. Most of the rest of your list I haven't heard. So I guess I'm supposed to be lucky???? ; ) J np: Pixies _Doolittle_ Join The Party @www.cpusa.org ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
