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.
