Rother? How can you not like his electro.. it may be derivative, but it's
uprfront about it! I give him total props for his psi-performer.. I
absolutely love that album - For those that haven't had the pleasure of
hearing it, it's a mish mash of dark lo-fi ambient leaning pieces some
technoish and others downtempo.. really dense and moving stuff with a damn
fine collection of remixes to boot. This guy is a talented artist and I
can't wait to hear his output now that he seems to be gearing himself
towards cohesive album production rather than eps.
