Some people prefer music to constantly evolve by experimenting with new instruments/voices/whatever. Some people prefer music to evolve by experimenting with songwriting, and composition. Plaid's sound has definitely changed throughout the years, but I don't think for one second that the guys in Plaid are too worried about experimentation for the sake of experimentation. They are just writing great emotional dance-friendly music that in my opinion really defies easy categorization. Although I haven't bought Double Figure yet, and have been going through a huge rediscovery of Autechre lately, Plaid is more in the category that I'd love to be in one day. Don't be dissin' Plaid, ya'll. :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
