At least with Ventolin, I'll agree... My imression is that those sounds,
arranged in a slightly more pleasing tone to the ear, turns into something
that one might hear from u-ziq. I just took a listen to Makesaracket
again yesterday, and was really digging it. I've been saturated/bombarded
with 4-on-da-floor the past few weeks by going out dancing too much, and it
was a real change to hear some musical development, and other sounds in
the music I listen to.
