The only time I think hype has been completely justified was for
Squarepusher's first album on Rephlex, "Feed Me Weird Things." Check the
archives for some rather extreme messages from Grant Wilson Claridge. He
got everyone psyched for the record, and when it finally came out, I
wasn't disappointed in the slightest.....
