I keep thinking the same thing, that I must be missing
something. Maybe I just haven't heard the the right music of
his, but so far I haven't had any reason to buy any of his stuff
based on what I've heard (on compilations such as AI, AI II,
TEX3, etc). Sometimes I think I should buy one of his albums
(like his SAW stuff), but don't have enough money to buy albums
by artists I don't know if I like.
