erm, 2 4/4 tracks; that new one(which just fucking kicked my ass it was
so amazing!!) and "three little birdies down beats". Both of these
tracks were brilliant, as with the rest of their set. MORE CHEMICALS!!!

yeah, that's how i feel about the new Meat Beat. Been around sooo long,
yet still putting out albums which are only "half-full" in the musical
approach theory stated above. But I know most all of the idmers love
this double pack. It still seems like just "O.K" material to me. But I
was surprised at their live show; it captivated me and made me pay
attention. I found a new liking for them after seeing them live (thank
god there weren't any leather - clad dancers!)
