got both of these the other day and was suprised at how lame they were..."distroia" is
mostly drum and bass stuff, kind of noisy and not terribly exciting, similar to some of
the more pop-oriented stuff off of "autoditacker". the one on sonig has a lot of
suprisingly autechre-like drum programming with a few nice melodic parts on one side, and
some more "drill and bass" stuff on the other side...not too bad if you like drum and
bass i guess but in general i found these two to be quite unoriginal, esp. given the
brilliance of "instrumentals" and "glam"...
