I've got them all, and _dead vent 7_, if you can get over the cheesy
voice-over, is a great album, and at least as worthwhile as _Single
Cell Orchestra_.  Don't bother with Freaky Chakra vs Single Cell
Orchestra though (IMHO), it is very repetive beats without the emotion
that makes SCO so grand.

triphop?  hmm..  I won't categorize, but that's a weird label.
