And it was the pace of that record, probably the very same reason most people find them "boring", that made it stand out against other records that I had heard. The pace made the music tense, it kind of made me itch, waiting for things to happen.
Yes...and keep waiting, and keep waiting.

Frames Per Second is the best. The other records are ok, but mostly I put them on if I want something mellow playing in the background.
I agree that they sound dated, but most music does.
Not crap, some waffles. Putting in your $.02 without adding your vote to the poll? Crap.

I think A Minor Forest obliterates them from my memory. A Minor Forest did this "thing" much more effectively.
But I understand they are outstanding people, so there's that.
Yeah, they were both doing a similar thing. A good comparison.
There's probably some nostalgia factor for me too, if I had just heard them today for the first time I don't think I'd be into it as much.
That song "The New Goth" really rocks though.
