Oh man, back in 1997, i used to listen to Vegas almost constantly. Well, alternating with Dig Your Own Hole!

I still enjoy Vegas, it has a dark atmosphere and some cool beats...especially "Trip Like I Do", "Bad Stone" and "High Roller".

But TCM has had a bit of an identity crisis. At the start, they were supposed to be the US's answer to the Chemical Brothers and big beat stylists. With "Tweekend", they started adding more live guitar and rap, and even worse, with "Legion of Boom", using the abyssmal Wes Borland. But i agree with Mongoose, even those albums have some fun tracks ("Wild Swet and Cool", "Tough Guy", "Bound Too Long", heck even "Born Too Slow" come to mind.) In their DJ sets and Community Service mix albums, it seems TCM want to be breakbeat nowadays. I guess this is "evolving", but it also seems a little bit go-with-the-flow.

I actually like the "Drive" EP...just a cool uptempo mix, never mind the recycled tunes.
