Snog's recent 2 albums are most excellent, though the earlier stuff is a
bit too....  Dunno.
But _Third Mall From The Sun_ and _Buy Me... I'll Change Your Life" (w/
killer cover of "Make the Little Flowers Grow") are extremely hip.  The
newer one (_Third..._) is a bit more glitchy and what-not, so should have a
bit more IDM appeal, though the former set the pace.

His work as Soma is excellent, in a worldy way...similar possibly to early
Muslimgauze.

Yeah...not nearly the crooning of Lidell, but still fairly good.  Plus with
definate anti-capitalist overtones, thus giving them more substance than
Lidells.

BTW--Koala fans...he takes up the turntables twice on the new Handsome Boy
Modelling School release.
