no doubt.  with spooky you don't get hallow self-wankings over marginal
music, you just get good music.

don't forget the beastie boys.  bboys plus pixies make for a rather catchy
duo:)

when guerrilla went down, they followed with series of releases on their
own genetics label, one of which was the brillant shunt ep (or was it the
clank ep, damn it i lost both, whichever it was it was the silver one.) i
had my copy stolen a few years back and have unsuccessfully been searching
since.  

i am rather curious as well as to what happen to them.  i remember reading
an article where they talked about taking a loan to buy their equipment.
wonder if the realities of running a small label caught up with them.
