I got to check out this Modulations film last night, and I was really pleased to see Sean and Rob being very much ho-hum and "yeah man, as kids you want everything to be like sci-fi, and you think cool, make electronic stuff, yeah, huhuhuh". I have no doubt they're clued up, but they also seemed down to earth about what they are doing. As for the packaging thing... what say do they have in the packaging? As for the titles thing... these are the people who make puns as bad as "Basscadet", "Latein (sp) Quarter", and "Cichli Suite". | Of course, in all the quoting that was done, it was never acknowledged that | I described the review as a subjective process, entirely at the discretion | of the writer.
