that influx 12" on isophlux has one of my favorite "idm-ish"
tracks ever.  period.  hands down.  not the ultra distorted
one, but the one with the x0x drums, the chunky arp(?) warbles,
and this melodic synth line that makes me want to sell all
my synths, samplers, etc....

yeah, that's still a favorite with me too.  i was listening to
the station i work at tonight, and someone was playing this loopy 
noise/ambient show, and they threw in one of the tracks on there
with beats, and it worked soooooo well.  great album.

the metal beast on isophlux is good too, especially that weird
little melodic ambient track.  good stuff.
