(this isn't a direct reply to above) If you once make music yourself you'll find that making vague sounds etc.. isn't that difficult (same for distorted things etc.). In Ae music I recognize a lot of pitched down sounds. You got your sound(drum)module and you just press the most left bar on your keyboard. This is maybe a simplification, but for structures their music/programming was more complicated with their first album. Got more melodies, more intense programming.. The moods they express can atract people, but for musical things it's different. np: Key Nell ~ Adrian Cogger
