unlikely. a foul mouthed idiot, a guitar, a laptop, maybe a semi functioning synth at a push, a lot of distortion pedals. for the synth.

Blowback:
" An enigmatic bunch... Mixing guitars with electronic sounds is not a new idea but it is one that few have done really well (New Order and Depeche Mode are probably the most obvious examples). Collected Dust takes leaves from the books of Spiritualized, Steve Reich and Brian Eno but it also creates its own,individual footprint for Little Gem. This is a grower that starts good and gets better - the dreamy, trippy, smiley tone is balanced by really good production and sounds that bite.
Credits: Swirling, warm jets of pleasure..."
with a numb hand, a computer that jumps like a knacked record player and possibly a new hat, little Gem stumbles towards your ear drums. still haven't finished those fucking remixes. sorry al.
