I'll try to check these out, but really, my aversion is pretty strong.
Just one schmuck's opinion, ya know. I haven't liked much of even the
"good" stuff which I've heard. Drums going that fast make me jittery. And
the drums do go fast in d&b, right? Occasionally? I haven't got it
confused w/techstep, right?

Anyway, sorry to have pooped in everyone's punch on the d&b front, but I
was thinking of getting the Terra Deva CD for my girlfriend (the post which
originally started this li'l shit-storm), & she hates d&b loads more than I
do....
