>Why are people excited about this? Has Push Button Objects done anything to >warrant excitement, ever? All the PBO 12"s are seriously lackluster, that one >on Skam is downright bad. If you want to hear good hip-hop, check out Kool >Keith or Mantronix. If you want to hear skratching get one of ISP's many, >many CD's. Q-Bert and MMM are better than anybody else at it. hopefully someone interested in good hip hop would have more than three sources, since the only interesting thing mantronix has done in over ten years is to let omar santana remix "bass machine." i can see where PBO might not have list appeal, though. he substitutes street breaks for sad-boy industrial in the crunch and twinkle equation and no doubt leaves a lot of people behind. eric onnow: keith tenniswood mix at haywire
