Cos it's fucking rock n'roll, and I HATE rock n'roll. Rock n'roll is for
old people.

;) Seriously, I like all of Carl's other work that I've heard.  He's
written more than his share of bonafide Techno classics.  But Landcruising
made my skin crawl.  Guitar & Techno just don't mix, unless it's done
really, really well, like on Scoobs In Columbia.  Most attempts just leave
me sick to my stomach (no, I'm not exaggerating), including Landcruising.

Of course, your mileage may vary.  I tend to be pretty reactionary with
my likes & dislikes.
