(No I'm not anywhere near being banked by Mego, these just happened all to be sitting near the top of the pile due to repeated listening...although finding much "computer music" at all around my house is a bit of a challenge!)<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I was fairly involved with Mego about a decade ago, and I don't think much of the work has really held up. As much as I like Peter, Florian and the others the stuff we thought was so groundbreaking back then ended up not making much of an impact. The third track on Peter's "Get Out" remains a standout as does Fennesz's reworking of "Paint It Black". What is interesting to me is that both of those started from quite musical sources and retained just enough of those musical qualities to not only catch the ear, but remain in the memory after a single listen. This is a something I rarely find in computer music. <br>
