The slabco. label has three artists (to my knowledge).  It breaks down thusly

Land of the Loops- as above...bumpy, groovin', simply amazing.  truely
music to get lost in.

sukpatch- still funky but more poppy and guitar based

Volume All Stars- Land of the Loops and sukpatch together.  More hip-hopish
but still with lush loops, bizarre between-song samples, and more of the
Steroelab-like vocals.

>Is Refried Treats as good?
Quality-wise it's the same as Bundle of Joy.  Quantity-wise it only has 4
or 5 songs.  Sound-wise it's slightly more ambient.

In short IDMer's...run out and buy this now!  Plus you get the added fanboy
bonus of it being impossibly hard to find (although Fingerprints in Long
Beach, CA and Amoeba in SF, CA are usually well stocked)
