I live in the area where these guys originated and then began to break through. It was discouraging, to say the least. I was at the tail end of a pretty lengthy exploration of Acid/Nu Jazz/DJ/Remix music and everything else that was within a week's drive to and from Monday Michiru, all of which had been more or less totally unknown/ignored by domestic musicians and civilians alike. So to hear this stuff SO gobsmacking the general public as "innovative" and such...no.
