(idm) Jega opinion + Schematic speeds?

I feel the need to express my opinion on Jega what
with all the bashing that's going on. Something I
hate seeing is people saying some music is rubbish
when the don't understand it or it's not on their
wavelength.

Anyway I rekon Jega's got some great talent but
it's quite idiosyncratic as opposed to Tom
Jenkinson who seems to be a bit more down to
earth.

I love the jega sound because of the u-Ziq style
input from Mike P. Mike had a very unique style
to start with (which sadly seems to be dying) but
to some extent it lives on with jega. There are
some moments in Spectrum where melodies bubble up
that bring a tear to my eyes, but I have to say
that at times the sound can be a bit HARSH!!

Aside from jega,,, can anyone tell me what the
intended speeds of the following are please?

Schematic 005 Richard Coleman Devine
Schematic 007 Ischemic Strokes
Schematic 008 Takesi - Swollen Glances (Glands?)
Chocolate Industries - Push Button Objects
                       Unauthorized ep

I'm really into the sound of these labels but I
can't decide what speed the records should be
played at. Should PBOs sound slow and hip hoppy
or fast and electroey? I like them at both
speeds but I can't help but wonder what the
artists' original intention was.
Can't wait for the PBOs on Skam!

Cheers.
