Faith no More is one band that you can't seem to date, no matter how hard you try. It's weird but their music, despite not changing or being influenced by trends always seem to stay trendy... Of course, you have to seek them out to know that, but still...
But more on topic, I def "collect" as far as Tech goes. I don't think I have any other artist that I can say I "collect" tracks of... Maybe MC Chris, a little Buckethead, and Marilyn Manson.
And I can understand wanting the "advance" of Tech's shit. I never really thought about it that way untill this thread came up, but I wouldn't mind having that type of shit. I wouldn't go song by song listening to every last echo and shit, but as lame as it sounds, a song with empty spots where features would have been would actually interest me. I couldn't really explain why, but... it's interesting to me as a fan of Tech.
It's funny, you guys just pointed out something I didn't really notice I was doing with the "collecting" shit.
