Two or three tracks from the self-titled Porter Ricks disc on Mille Plateaux have really odd guitar parts that don't work that well. One of them even sounds similar to "Welcome to the Jungle." Also, the mu-Ziq track on the Empathy Box remixes has gitar (sic) on it. > Che wrote: >> Guitar & Techno just don't mix > > My mileage varies.
