I have Markant 1, and it's the only thing I've heard from the guy. it's good, sort of a weird mishmash of stuff that works pretty well. I think the low availability of a lot of his older releases, though, probably did more to hurt his overall popularity, as it's only been recently that it's been widely available, and I believe most people on the list mentioned that the older stuff was a little fresher-sounding. derek -- eggytoast.com - eggtastic.com ------ catchy signature coming soon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
