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.
