because chances are that it'll be very good.

yes. his first 12" on schematic was amazing, as well as his recent remixes
for takeshi and gunieo.

>All the PBO 12"s are seriously lackluster, 

two of them are. one is so-so. and one, IMHO, is the best IDM record in
several years. (no kidding) and one of the only ones with fat beats/head
nod factor.  when autechre does hip hop it's usually flimsy (see 'mag').
pbo is bassy, ph/fat, slammin'.

agreed, but why limit your spectrum to just those artists?

I take it you've never heard DJ Craze...
