Yes when you go through a lot of music every month
there are a few gems that sparkle a little more than the
others - Oval's Systemisch and 94 Diskont have always
sparkled for me (especially the bonus remix 12" that
only comes with the vinyl verions of 94 Diskont). I'll
agree that pops, clicks, skips, and glitches arent for
everybody. But for me those little distoritions are
the perfection of imperfection.  :  )
