Yep. From what I've heard they're good (never heard them live myself). The 'nothing sequenced' claim doesn't quite stack up on record though. The stuff I heard sounds pretty sequenced to me. I could be wrong. In any case, it's a bit of a moot point as the records of theirs I heard, I enjoyed.
Naturally, it's a taste thing. I appreciate 'body & soul' style NY house a la Clausell, Krivit, Kervorkian and Osunlade in a different way to say, what most of us call techno. >-----Original Message----- >From: Kent williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 8:07 AM >To: 313 list >Subject: (313) Tortured Soul!?! > > >So... totally last minute I get a call from my friend Miche' about >tag teaming, opening for this band Tortured Soul.
