Yes, but we left topic-ville several posts back. :)

That's great, thanks.  I've barely brushed up against this stuff
(some tiny snippets of Front 242 and Skinny Puppy).  If pandora
cooperates, I'll seed a few stations from your list and look for 
some used as well.

As for me, and in a different direction than what you listed,
the successor to the TD is what was once called "post-rock" 
before the term became meaningless via over-usage.  More
specifically, I mean stuff in the vein of Mogwai, gybe!, and 
Red Sparowes.  I can supply more info and specifics if you're 
both interested and unfamiliar.

Thanks again,
Tony
