I must echo these sentiments. I'm the one who pointed out the growing
homoginazation of sound with artists like Quench, Crunch, Gimmik and Swap.
Now I'm seeing it more and more coming out of the Schematic camp, with
Richard Devine and Otto Von Schirach heading the charge. Nothing on the
House of Distaction comp moves me all that much, although it gets my vote
for most impressive artwork of the year.

I find myself puuting on more techno and break-beat like Surgeon,
Underworld, Meat Beat Manifesto, Speedy J. Hell, I might even be more apt to
throw on some old Frontline Assembly album than the new Phoenecia.
