I don't know a whole lot about COA other than what they do is pretty 
much Breakbeat West Coast Style. I don't care Breakbeat, but if I were 
to buy West Coast Style BreakBeat, I'd go for Uberzone, esp since Q 
finally emailed me today:) Q is an excellent fellow as well as a very 
dedicated musician and performer. If you like electronica with that 
funky beat like Chem Bros throw into their music, this is similar but 
it's NOT CHEM BROS let's sound like ROCK, the beats are similar.
I like Uberzone a lot, although I don't anything buy him. He's got an 
ep 8 tracker on City of Angels, I think it's called MOONDUST, or BOTZ, 
or something like that and He just released a new 12" this past month 
that a friend say is very good. Worth checking out, but not what most 
IDM'ers are after (meaning SKAM, Schematic, Rephlex, Isophlux stuff).

If Q (uberzone) comes to your neighborhood to play live, go go go! 
Well worth seeing someone kick out the jams live. Since he (like me) 
was a drummer as a kid, he feels the needs to play the majority of the 
beats live. I appreciate this alot. He uses some drum triggers and 
that Roland SPDwhatever, sorta like the old Octapads.......

good luck,
gil
