spot on. the man knows of what he speaks!

besides, the stockholm group was a pretty diverse group back then. and most of the tracks coming out of there were not drumcode style. not sure if people remember cari's mr. barth project on svek, but the two albums--and the two singles with alexi delano--were really, really different...slower and much weirder, but still "big" sounding...and still among my favorites today. there were other labels like lask, loop, plumphouse, borft, etc. that also put out some quality tunes that sounded absolutely 0.000000000 % like drumcode.
