What? the one reason that turned me off of Oval immediately was the sampling of Aphex's SAW2! blatantly. geez. i like when Panacea samples afx or autechre or u2 or mouseonmars, cuz it's only hardcore-drumnbass after all, and not "groundbreaking digital audio manipulation". speaking of: i finally heard Panacea Vs Hanayo: japanese girlie vocals with hard-fucking-core acid electro and downtempo. i can't get into Panacea's current love of the acid sound (ie. bad street boy). squarepusher's Buzz Caner doesn't sit well with me for the same reason. tomas
