I support all the great comments about haujobb on this list.

I think they're fantastic ... I first heard about them when the US
domestic release of Homes & Gardens was released ... i think there was an
ad on the back of an Isolation Tank catalog .. 

In any event, i still love that album (their first) .. it is more
"industrial" and some have said they're picking up where skinny puppy left
off -- i don't quite get the reference except maybe for the intricate
placement of samples ... but the vocals are much different (although still
in a stream-of-consciousness fashion).  

Their consequent releases are great (although i don't have _matrix_).
They're much more idm-ish and beat-driven in the dance music/techno sense.

But there's just something amazing about Homes & Garden that i can't put
my finger on.  Maybe it's because the album is a breath of fresh air
amidst a torrent of industrial/aggrocore releases that pride themselves in
beginning with a silly sample and then barraging the listener with sampled
and sequenced guitars that continue ad infinitum.

Quite honestly, i get bored quickly with that.

So check out Homes & Garden if you'd like to get a bit darker with some
excellent vocals and samples ....

an excellent release in my opinion ...

take care .. and happy shopping ...
