What? Isn't that the guy that does my yardwork? Nah, its John Burton, a very obscure and experimental electronic artist. He's also a member of Polar Bear, the post-Jazz group not the post-Jane's Addiction group. This music is bizarre and well crafted. I was the Slag Boom Van Loon track where I first scratched my head over this artist. Then he started appearing on several of those Wire Tapper CDs and I was hooked. Here's a good overview of the remixes he's completed, and most of these were new to me when I starting researching his output.
