I'd disagree about the sound - most of the stuff I've gotten has been pretty melodic. I'd say either "Full Sunken Breaks" by Kid Spatula, or that first Capitol K release, if you're okay with indie rock. Not that it is indie rock, but it kinda veers off in that direction for a bit, and if you're afraid of lyrics or guitars, it might be an issue. Not that they're reall overbearing or anything, but they're there. Yes, I assholishly imagine IDM kids running screaming from records with lyrics and guitars with their hands clasped firmly over their ears screaming, "Rock is so mid 90s! This needs more DSP fuckery!" I love you all. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
