oh, you got me, i have only one thought then... and it is that someone called valor mentioned it/them on an electronic music board, so i guess it is some kind of musician or something similar...

I heard this playing about a month ago in an independent shop, I'll tell you about that later.
I like their sound, it's a bit like what I've been trying to aim at but with more guitars than synths.
The shop I heard it in told me that they've been receiving albums from a special supplier that gives them the CD about a month before the actual proper release. This is supposed to make independent shops more popular, etc. etc. I thought it was quite a nice plan.

I know one of their singles, which was OK, but not very good.

y'might wanna try giving 'Desert Eagle' a listen. its nothing extraordinary but it can get quite catchy at the very end... its one of those songs that grow on you.

I have slowly come to the realization that everyone who is/was signed to Audiodregs is mind-blowingly awesome.
Though I haven't heard any of Ratatat.

ratatat, is hard to critique. i mean if you listen to it for what it is you might say its uninspired dribble. i dont know how. i take it as sorta catchy innocent fun... i mean if i want something complex i'd listen to something else but sometimes its nice just to jam on with some heavy stuff... it kinda gives you mix of minimalism synth work with heavy (or acoustic) riff chords.

I've got both albums. I like their sound. It's pretty distinct and original. Sometimes I wish they were a bit heavier; some of their tracks come a little too close to elevator music. :)

ok, now i have some more thoughts... i got his last album as i loved boomkat samples. pretty original sounding and evolution of the tunes, althought sometimes they lack something, like a more logical destination.
happy flowing. a bit there with last boc, daft punks dicovery, and stffff electronics with guitars and stuff, but pretty nice beats blabla

'nostrand' is a mindblowing tune. don't care much for the rest of the album but this one is just brilliant.

Classics was bland. Liked "Wildcat" and the first track though.

i really loved seventeen years when i first heard it, but only found a couple other songs from their debut to be of interest.
when classics came out i gave it all of one listen then canned it.
but their new disc LP3 is fucking spectacular. much wider range of sound, and over all better song writing on this disc. i feel like they can/will do some great things in the future judging by the direction they seem to heading with this one.
