"Decidedly different from most other stuff around. SAH is essentially drum/bass, (major emphasis on the former) some rather crunchy digital samples, and best of all: Power Tools! Yes that's right, you get to hear a musical disk-grinder, circular saws, and may other tools being used in ways their manufacturers never intended and are sure to void the warranty. Based on Japanese Taiko drumming, it is not the simple and annoying BigBeat techno style, it is much more elaborate and stylized, using complexity of rhythm and precession drumming (yes, it is done by actual humans!) over the same old more-speed-and-volume we've seen one too many times. If you can see them live, DO IT!"
