I think you should have read my post before replying.  The tracks were Ge=
mini
and Intron.ix.  And I like both of them.  I just think that he seriously
copied Squarepusher on Gemini, and I think he knew it.  It's almost funny=
 how
obvious it is.  But the song is fine.  Are you disagreeing with me? all i=

wanted to know is if anyone else noticed this, i wasn't trying to put Jeg=
a
down. =

I know, I like the album, i just made an observation about it.

Just because the styles that musicians like Bola and Jega

Whoa there topgun, where are you pulling Bola from?  I know another perso=
n
slagged Bola, but you started off this post replying to me, and you still=
 seem
to be addressing me, so make it clear whom you are replying to and don't =
put
words in my mouth.

I happen to like Bola and Jega, and I don't care where the hell they draw=

their styles from, i like the music they make, which is all that matters.=
  I
think Bola's soup was one of the best albums of last year.
