Dropbeat (especially **Downpour**) whup Panaceas ass in my correct opinion. I cant really see any parallel between the two, downpour are far more sophisticated and interesting and dont use shitty rave stabs.. i reckonz these boys are gonna keep us all on our toes with their future releases.... them and Spymania of course. ;| -- k.F "I tried unloading banana trains and for while I had a job collecting horses hooves for a sausage skin and glue manufacturer.
