Well, I think fsck is a masterpiece, but Hotel Paral.lel is pretty damn great too. It's probably the best record on Mego. There are definitely similarities in the types of sounds used, but H.P. tends to be more static & droney and uses the occasional melody (!). I think Fennesz's masterpiece is the "Fennesz Plays" single though. That one's a must. Amazing ! Pita and General Magic are also worth checking out if you're into the Mego sound. Andrei
