You're talking crap. "Snivilisation" wasn't good, I agree. But I think it
was because they tried to make it more underground and weird. Something
they're obviously not capable of. They haven't changed their music much,
only the tunes aren't as good as before.

I saw them in Stockholm and I definitely want to see them again. Except
for a pretty slow start, they did a great set. "Impact" and "Chime" were
superb. Sure, it's music to dance and have fun to, which IDM generally
isn't about. Too bad.
