I couldn't disagree more. Tom n'Ed are expert knob twiddlers... tough and brutal fusion of hip hop and acid house with funky meltdowns and neat distortion and loops. The guys are pretty legitamite. I've got every one of their single releases going back to their first 12" single-sided "Song to the Siren" track which started it all. Listen to "it doesn't matter" and you'll understand... the brothas gonna work it out. Now... if you want to talk about shit for the masses then let us speak of Prodigy. Now there's some shite for you.. Liam trying' to pump it up and always talking about how hardcore he is whilst the bros just hide behind their gear and bob their heads. Prodigy = all bark, no bite Chems = psychadelic funkin music -- 'dancable' but not chicago-house-stupid. 2/100 of a dollar poorer, Peter
