Mine? Realy? Thanks!
I don't know chronologicly (too lazy to check) what came 1st, generation or
ltd.
But from all his work I'd say they are the two most resembling each other in
style - pretty low teckky ranging between the spacey semi industro/illbient
(pick yer desc.) and the stomping distorted beats. After that came 'Low on
Ice' which is also very thinly produced and is my favorite nightmares
inducing record coming next only to SAWII. "HyperModern Jazz 2000.5" - well
I got it only 2 months now and listened to it quite a bit but besides
telling you I like it I dunno what else to say. It resembles some of Atom
Heart's works on RI (MONO TM comes to mind) and is pretty weird electronica
with an electro flavor.
The last one ('Les Etoiles...') I didn't get yet but I will ;)
Oh, there's also "The Destroyer" - harder than hell and pretty good in
gibing you the notion of what hardcore is suppposed to be.

Snow.
