definitely not luomo: i can see where this comes from but the ethos is so different it doesn't really work.
the whole thing has been usurped by the resurgence of bands and rock as far as i can see. there are no real equivalents. i mean, of course you have your jaxxes and daft punks etc, but nothing that really fits this very specific brand of credible commercial dance music.
just for the record, i was listening to happiness by the beloved only the other day for the first time in years. i didn't really like themn much at the time but a girlfriend of mine bought it for me in an effort to convert me. it worked - about a decade too late! it's a nice record!
