rented it out in a library in Brussels and copied it to tape (I was too poor to afford any record). I got addicted, fascinated with those dark, desperate songs. Beautiful chaos of samples barely hold together by the bassline or guitar. I used to play "A Whole Wide World Ahead" in all my DJ sessions to give a little room in between more electronic music. Most of those electronic tracks have aged very poorly, but DI are still as relevant as they were back then. I remember at that time Laika was also doing a lot of sampled pop. I saw them live, interesting show but not much more to remember. DI nailed the concept. They stand out without a doubt as one of the most talented and underrated bands of the 90's, probably overshadowed by MBV's Loveless. 15 years on their legacy seems even more important when listening to a lot of current indie music, overproduced and trying to be dancefloor friendly.
