Don't get me wrong, it's not about snobbery, i'm not big on reading or anything. I've just always been into sounds/noises rather than songs. If a techno track has some interesting sounds assembled in an ok way, that has more appeal to me than a really nicely arranged and very clever track with sound...

I recommend stuff by Mouse. Really sick. There's a name I thought i'd never see on this forum, haha. I saw Mouse and No Name play live for 4 hours in Newcastle a couple of years ago, it was pretty amazing.
