there quite excellent i think, electronic music (good electronic music) is generally mispercieved as being 'easy' to do and to make a good song all you need to do is get some virtual instruments and some loops together with a generic beat which i think can be quite ignorant of this genre.

I also enjoy Bill Baileys intereptations of Kraftwerk :lol:

Awesome!
I'm going to
Tear your fuckin' eyes out,
Rip your fuckin' flesh off,
Beat you 'till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass,
Fuck you and your progress,
Watch me fucking regress,
You were made to take the fall,
Now you're nothing!!
