Well, they've never done the noisy thing, or incorporated noise and distortion into anything they've done. There are many, many takes and nuances in those directions they haven't touched. For people purportedly exploring every genre (of dance) they still have a very distinct slant on what they do, and my impression is their approach to tracks is much of a muchness. I guess the incorporation of live instruments recently is a change in that. Stil, my impression is that if you substitute rhythm sections (and tempos) between the various styles, the actual music is often pretty interchangeable. NB. _often_, I'm not saying that's always the case. Michael ____________________________________________ "His eyes are TV cameras" http://www.vuw.ac.nz/~michael/jj.html
