I would like to respectfully disagree with Adam here.
It's the "very pleasant and nice" sound of the Plod
material which endears me to their sound. I don't think
that making things "a little crazier" would improve
them at all. In fact, i believe it would detract from
their sound because IMHO there are too many producers
now making things "a little crazier." Acts like Aphex
Twin, Squarepusher, Mu-Ziq, Global Goon and even
recent Autechre have lost the "very pleasant and nice"
sounds that they once had and gone crazy with manic
breakbeats, peculiar melodies and/or infantile samples.
For a change, I would like to see more "very pleasant
and nice" releases out there. : )
