A bit cleaner, with really nice melodies. There's one Sci-fi CD that's pretty damn cool. It's got an original Star Trek-ish narative on top of the whole thing, with good, dark electro beneath. > Also on the STC kick, IMO Flourescene made up for the > collaboration with Terrence McKenna, which to this day I > find to be absolute nonesense.

He was at the height of his popularity then. I have friend who was really into the whole thing, heroic doses, DMT elves and the works. He definitely gets points for originality. However, I think the last thing dance music culture needs is a guru intellectualizing a bunch of teenagers doing drugs to dance music as cultural transcendence.
