The absolute truth.  Without 4 Hero, no darkness, for instance...

>too sugar coated. Were you put off by the 'live' sounding first CD? I

What album is that?  AFAIK their first album was way back in 1992... had
Mr. Kirk Your Son Is Dead on it, for instance...  second was Parallel
Universe, in 1994...  I haven't followed them as of late (or much music),
but would you be referring to their first Talkin' Loud release?

I seem to remember hearing that they will play the kind of break they want
live on a drum kit, then sample it, speed it up, loop it, layer it, etc.

Actually, I listened to some of it on the website, and tell you the truth I
wasn't completely impressed either.  But I know I'll just have to hear it for
myself on vinyl...
