 Although Herbert studied music
 formally, much of his creative
 impetus has been provided by the
 compositional potential of digital
 sampling technology, which he
 liberally applies to genres such as
 house, electro, ambient, and techno,
 fashioning tracks of detail and
 originality from such mundane
 objects of everyday life as kitchen
 flatware, crockery, even his own
 body. The unlikeliest of
 experimental house tracks, working
 within the genre's feel-good,
 four-on-the-floor arrangements while
 drastically tweaking its modus
 operandi. His signature approach has
 given post-rave house's stale
 comportment a badly needed shot in
 the arm. -- All Music Guide
