yeah, ok... i actually kind of like many things he's done too. to me he sounds quite like richard bartz. i'm not saying they aren't talented, i just think that things like basic channel are much more improvised. i really dont like it when the music looses the human touch in the production. that's one of my critiques of bang tech and goa too.
