i watched these dudes recently. that chick is fuckin mental. their strobe lights nearly gave me an epeleptic fit they were so over the top. but i liked. she has something about her.

in the music industry as in any industry, there is always resemblance to others work, but just because one do it better or get higher recognition for it over the other, it doesn't make it theft or stupid.
If you don't like the artist that's a different thing.
you only do something original until you find out that it has already been made...

ok, read the tshirt thing. any explanation of this "Stole music from some chiptunes artist" ?
and do you have a personal thing against them? your tone makes it sound like it...

Also said in an interview they were the only ones capable of making that sound because they took a chip out of an old Atari console and stuck it in their keyboard. So full of shit and stupid lies its not even funny

I love 'em. first time I heard them was last year at a festival, they were only 25 min on stage and blowned everyone away.
great album, I don't care if they stole it

I don't doubt they've been 'heavily influenced' but it's part of what I like about the album, I feel like I've heard it all before, but like 10 years ago and not from one artist/band...
I actually really like the warmth and tempo of the whole album except for the 3-4 agro tracks...

please expand on the above.
I like the album, or rather I like about 4 or 5 tunes on the album, but that's good going for me these days.

Been Jamming to the Alb all weekend. Good stuff. Pretty creative to make a whole alb of Donkey Kong sound bits. Some tracks hit dry and very dry. There are also some real gems in there.

I love the album... fuck you all...
- I do too. But then I love Kraftwerk and I kind of think of them as a punk version of the Kling Klang boys.JerseyRaindog
