i'm probably the only one who thinks this but i think most of paradinas stuff is total ripoff. tango n' vectif & bluff limbo sounds exactly like old aphex twin, and his new jungle stuff sounds just like squarepusher/aphex (ala RDJ album). the only stuff of his that is ORIGINAL is the shit i *HATE* (jake slazenger, gary mosch-whatever-the-fuck-es).. don't get me wrong.. i LIKE tango n' vectif, bluff limbo, and lunatic harness - but Paradinas rips so hard on everyone else's style.. oh well. - wells oliver / s0ewoliv@titan.vcu.edu "i know it's only his body & all that's in the cemetary, & his soul's in heaven and all that crap, but i couldn't stand it anyway. i just wish he wasn't there. you didn't know him. if you'd known him, you'd know what i mean. it's not too bad when the sun's out, but the sun only comes out when it feels like coming out." - holden caulfield
