| Whether it's the dark ambient of Deathprod, the arctic imagery of Elegi, or the moody introspection of Biosphere (to name but a few), the Scandinavians seem to have the market cornered on gloomy yet strangely compelling electronica. |

| It would be nice to have something on here that would be fun to listen to with friends in a car w/good beats and lyrics, w/o getting embarrassed and having to launch into an explanation of why some weird 10 minute instrumental is on the car stereo. Only Eurocrunk bands I know of are Stacs of Stamina and Wonder, both of which left me wanting to hear more. |
