I never got the ambivalence towards wearemonster, or the idea that it pales compared to rest. To me it’s such a high-water mark of my favourite dance-music sounds, whereas Rest is great but never had that kind of gut-level feeing. The Stefan Marx covers on isolee releases feel more classic to me too, compared to Rest. But Wearemonster also has the benefit of being released at a formative time for me, so I may be biased. But I also just love about everything isolee does and have huge respect for him, so I suppose I don’t really care which album is less good.
