I guess I had them mixed up with Ministry and all their various offshoots= (at least for place of origin) - I'm always willing to mend my erroneous ways in the direction of liking everything (especially if I find somethin= g for $2 or less in the used bin ) - what's their single best release? Michael Upton said of the Matador Burger/Ink _Las Vegas_: <I haven't heard it in a while, but my memory of it was a lot of big washy synth sounds over metronome-style pulsing kicks, and quite a ra= w production style - things distort at the edges, without it ever getting aggro. > Not sure about "big washy synth" which makes me think more of a classic Detriot techno style but perhaps that's not what you meant - it reminds m= e of Mannequin Lung which I wouldn't consider raw at all (at least compared= to Autechre or Farmer's Manual or anything like that) - it bubbles along = a bit unassumingly with a dubby edge to the bass parts and eventually draws= me in through it's sheer repetitiveness which eventually become almost intense in its insistence - it reaches that degree that makes unimaginati= ve coworkers suggest that the record is skipping.
