Cheers for the info.
Re Norken etc. I have to say I prefer all that kind of stuff by far, but
after having the Ischemic Folks comp for weeks and being a bit iffy about it
I suddenly found that when I'm in a certain mood it just blows me away too,
so my estimation of the schematic sound went up a lot that day. Not exactly
easy listening though, give me nice melodies any day.
I gotta agree, the Norken album in particular is amazing.
