definitely. when we had the "sounds great and they used no equipment"
thread, i was gonna post on haujobb, but figured that nobody else had
heard of 'em. :) apparently, the entirety of solutions was recorded with
(their official list):
1 roland juno60
1 akai s900
1 tascam da88
cubase on powermac
2 ashtrays
not bad. :)

oh, yes, most definitely. i sent a review of this to the list somewhere
back when it came out (last august?). also, the forma tadre mix of
haujobb's net culture (on the cleaned visions cd5) is incredible. the
forma tadre album is alright, a little spotty in places on the vocal
stuff, but the new one should be incredible.
also, haujobb have started a new label for their stuff (the name of which
currently escapes me) because off beat didn't like their lack of obvious
dancefloor tracks, so haujobb left. one half of haujobb has the first
release on their new label under the name of cleen. just out, the ep,
_designed memories_, is like solutions on 'roids with a heavy shot of
squelch. *very* good. the other half of haujobb has done 2 12"s for the
label, for release soon, under the name dots and dashes. apparently this
is more minimal techno-ish stuff like solutions, but in a different
direction than cleen.
