Hmm. I think this is a slightly silly thread, but I must join here. MBM is
the greatest live. Even if they didn't play stuff (which they do...sorta),
they remix and re-do tracks so aurally it's a pleasure! Not techno, but
worthy of mention. MBM and Severed Heads will always be close to my heart
along with Black Dog, Kirk D., Dan Curtin and any other innovative, creative
producers. Give a listen to them (or other truly innovative "pop" bands) and
you'll hear amazing noise and inspiration which can be applied to any great
techno/idm coming out today. I think Severed Heads is the sole reason why
I never understood the fuss over AFX's noises!!!! Enjoy if ya hear 'em...
