@ adverse: no worries dude, I just see a few things on here that don't make much sense to me sometimes...

Just out of interest, what stuff have you heard by the artists I mentioned above which you didn't like? I can't get with the Hacker's blatently retro stuff, I'm more into his earlier output, and I'm not so into Landstrumms more recent stuff, apart from the od thing, his early Peacefrog, tresor, sativae and mosquito stuff was excellent though (IMO).. I can understand that Tube Jerk stuff can be a bit formulated, I'm just wondering what it is about it you don't like...
Personally, I can't get into stuff that sounds exactly the same wherever you put the needle to the record i.e. the supposed "DJ tool" which to me seems to be an excuse for lazy arrangement.. no structure... it's almost like, was there any point in cutting a whole side to a record, when you could have just done 10 locks..
