Well.. his new full length is quite Ambient and sounds nothing like his
earlier D&B stuff.  I agree, however, that his D&B stuff does start to bleed
together.  I liked most of the songs off of the Split ep, but it was
enough.  The full length "Cricklewood" is pretty decent, but it is, again,
ambient...  a large departure from him previous work.. .and we are expected
to hear more in this style from him from now on (good or bad), from what
I've read.

Downpour is much better than Witchman, IMO.  Darker and more varied.  But
woah!!! if you don't get into distortion are darkness, stay away from
Downpour.   I've only heard about 4 or 5 tracks that I think stand up in
Witchman's case.

One thing I may recommend in a *sort-of* Downpour vein is Lowfish.  I've
been meaning to post a review of the Suction 12" but haven't had a chance.
The Lowfish songs on this thing are key.  The first song on this 12 is in
contention for one of my top five tracks of the year (up there with the Ae
Mag remix).  Some good twists in their music.
