I was not a fan of not for threes.  Lacked any real emotion for me.
However, restproof... is a different story.  It definitely has more depth.
It seems as if plaid learned how to use their machines rather than their
machines using them.  A definite must have if you have ever enjoyed plaid
stylings.  I still feel that their remixes for the most part stand above
anything they have ever done.  Though rest proof comes close to disproving
that....

your mileage may vary...

tip of the day:  picked up Innerzone Orchestra - Programmed.  Difficult
listening to my ear.  Not sure why though.  A definite grower.   Also,
Aril Brikha's new CD is astounding.  If your fond of detroit sounds then
you need this.
