		<description><![CDATA[First off, music video: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/Ultrasound/
Fun from the beginning. The effects on the voice and those phased percussion is just a tad bit amateurish/&#8217;default presets&#8217; sounding, but that&#8217;s not so much a bad thing &#8211; makes me think of the streets, lends some character. And no, not just because of the accent.

		<description><![CDATA[I first heard about Wolfsheim, when I was listening to a song called Die Flut (The Flood). Die Flut was a collaborative effort between Joachim Whitt and Peter Heppner, both popular German New Wave artists in the 80&#8242;s. I like the song a lot, so I wanted to see if they had done anything else together, or [...]]]></description>

Grab a joystick and then come sit next to me
If you’ve ever held a joystick

Good times [...]]]></description>

I think you&#8217;ll notice right off, that this song is a little bit more&#8230; low-fi, shall we say. Not as polished [...]]]></description>

But more that it&#8217;s all built around layering, repeating sections over and over, and building on them. Similar to what we [...]]]></description>
