There are some remixes that he has done that don't do it for me, but that's about it. He is awesome! With regards to Squarepusher, he has done some good stuff. I certainly loved Feed Me Weird Things, Port Rhombus, early Spymania stuff, some of his remixes. But I got pretty sick of the drill n bass after a while. Hard Normal Daddy had some moments, but i wasn't blown away by it. I have no desire to listen to it. I didn't like Big Loada. That came out at a time after I started really getting into drum n bass. After listening to Photek, Source Direct, Arcon 2, Ed Rush, and lots of other stuff. Big Loada didn't have much appeal. Chaos AD didn't do much for me either. The new one is good. Mike Paradinas has always been hit and miss. And there are tons of misses. The second Jake Slazenter I hated. Kid Spatula was just ok. There were a few single (I can't recall the names) that were really blah. Mike and Rich although amusing didn't really excite me for very long. That latest collaboration he did with Speedy J wasn't that impressive either. There were other releases, the name is at the tip of my tongue..oh well I will think of it later. Alot of you guys (and I certainly don't mean the whole list) just seem to have too narrow of a focus on electronic music. There is alot of great stuff out there that is beyond IDM. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
