whether we like it or not, they have a formula. everyone has to have a formula in their music to give them their identity. yet their formula is soooooo good. it works, full stop... just like scot project's formula worked... and the more they use it, the more ppl can learn to understand it...
but then a time comes when those who are really looking for the next thing in music say 'i need to hear something different from them'. and that's what you're doing... and alot of people on this forum...
so are these guys trying to do something different with their sound?
i believe they are. much more than scot project ever did. listen to some of the B-sides. the more percussive techno thing on those turntable junky remixs. in fact, the main remix was excellent. now there's that new one - 'wall' something - sounds like a mental german name (can't remember it!!!!! sorrieeeeeeee!!!!) - the other side with two tracks on is such a change.
i think the key for uberdruck (and i really hope they read this cause I know they visit the forum) is to keep doing what they do best but always do these quirky b sides. these two are so talented that even though they are the sound of now, they could be providing a serious alternative for the future, in the form of their bsides...
