sorry matt, but i think each and every one of those listed were in fact, overrated during their peak. they have not been able to continue making quality music that isn't reliant on the current trendy sound (tech house, prog breaks) to boost their cred.

*bangs gavel*

motion denied!

I can't pick a favourite album, too much choice and there are a couple that I haven't heard yet.

Re: Most Underrated Bands
first heard Norken with one of these releases. can't recall which was first but i got them around the same time.

http://www.discogs.com/release/93719
http://www.discogs.com/release/43819

this is my fav. Norken album, naturally: http://www.discogs.com/release/53506

the sleeve is gorgeous, the first full length i heard in this style and still sounds as good as it did then.

Our Memories of Winter has been on my mp3 player for about 4 months now, pretty much the only thing that hasn't been removed in that long.

for Metamatics, http://www.discogs.com/release/5325 that album is incredible. the packaging is super deluxe too (edit: i was wrong, was thinking of the packaging for the Clatterbox album on Clear http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=5317). suppose it's a bit too big and fragile but that always made me care for it like it was my precious.

I have the hydrogen release of that which I love, Our Memories Of Winter is one of the albums I am short and I wouldn't mind getting the Clear release of that.

Re: Most Underrated Bands
Mad Capsule Markets - Although they have disbanded, you've got to give them props for being Japan's only Digital Hardcore Techno Surf Punk Rock Electronic Metal band.

I can't say anything to back up this band, but when I was a college radio dj, I would always play their song 'Island'. Fantastic.

On the electronic front:
Radial

from the DJing perspective:
Ben Sims

on the rock tip (and I'm not up on rock press so these guys could have tons of press but I just discovered them)
Tokyo Police Club

DUDE I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!!

It's really cool that you know Radial, a Dutch group. I've been listening to their liveset at Deflect for the past 2 weeks on repeat. If you're interested, I can hook you up!

And yes, Ben Sims rocks the place.

Is this different from the one they have on their myspace? Snagged both of them and have played the hell out of each of them, though like the earlier one better since they let "Blue Eyes Over a Dark Sky" play out a bit longer. LOOOOOOVE the vocal sample on that one.

But yeh, those guys and Bas Mooy have been holding it down with some good harder techno that isn't nosebleed hard.
