First I just wanna add that Andre Estermann - Balloon has been sorely overlooked by me, and maybe others. then: --- Thomas Aikin <phnxdwn@hotmail.com> wrote:

I don't think either of them really originated "this style" ... maybe BoC? :P No, really, it would probably be Herren, even back when he was playing around with the Delarosa project, he had the hip-hoppy idm-y post-rocky thing going on a few tracks.

I know I said something in my list about Uprock being "too late" and that's why it was only a runners-up for me; by that I didn't mean "Machine Drum did it first," I meant, "Machine Drum got to me and won my heart first." Anyway, I just prefer Machine Drum's, er, style, to that of Scott, though he's good at what he does, too. Can't explain it. Something about Uprock strikes me as somehow disconnected from my own personal reality, whereas Machine Drum makes me think of subways and spray paint... I guess I've just listened to it a lot more.

Well, personally they/s/he/it just hits the same spot for me that Gimmik does, although maybe a little warmer. Pleasant electronics. I'd rank him after Gimmik of the artists on Toytronic's roster. I wouldn't particularly want to *hype* the act, but I do enjoy it. -Adam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
