hee hee! I disagree wholeheartedly. Listen to 'from within' by pete namlook & ritchie hawtin. Some beautiful music made with, gasp! -- standard analog drum machines & synths! no samples, they're not lame. I hope they feel good about the music, as I quite enjoy it. Nothing else like it, to be sure! I used to think the samples made the music, but the artist makes the music. --brett p.s. I heard the promo of metalheadz (somehow we ended up with it at work) and it blew chunks. good example ;)
