i forget the original post, but i'd like to stick up for OST and Low Res.
IMO, OST and Low Res made a respected name for themselves
back on Canada's Switch imprint and the Sublime label, respectively,
well over 5 years ago. peronsonally,
i've made a point of paying attention to these two since
i first heard them then, so when they release stuff on Phthalo, Dial, Plug
Research, Mille
Plateaux, etc, in 1998, 1999 and on that gets great reviews and people
talking about them, it doesn't surprise me to see the compliments,
but it does seem strange to have people deny their track records.
my 2 cents. andrew :)
