well, pole's got cool sounds going, but i have to agree that like most
of berlin techno, he is immensely boring.

observe the difference:

chain reaction record -> thump tss thump tss thump tss thump tss thump
tss thump tss thump tss weeeeaaaaoooowwwwwww thump tss thump tss thump
tss thump tss

pole record -> pop click pop click pop click pop click pop click pop
click pop click pop click pop click weeeeaaaaoooowwwwwww pop click pop
click pop click pop click pop click

& as a means of comparison:

autechre record -> crunch clack bang blip kank crunch-a-ching bang klank
crunch blip klang tcheecka boom ding bump crunch crunch bloop blip

funkstörung record -> crunch clack bang blip kank crunch-a-ching bang
klank crunch blip klang tcheecka boom ding bump crunch crunch bloop blip

heh heh.
