(assuming here that you are arguing that they have moved too far from the "musical"/traditional side of things -- if that makes sense). fuck, at least they havnt gone the silly drill and bass route of everyone else and are still producing original material (though a couple tracks came close :) btw: is b. parmegiani the percussionist who somehow produced super complex rhytms off his body or something? i seem to recall a friends talking about him. .crz__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ music, four lunchpails: wednesdays 7-8pm kuci 88.9fm www.kuci.org "i saw some pants that made me go fuck" - jsn.
