I agree with those who recognize Steve's important contributions. He's the engine! And to say that he doesn't jive with their experimental side doesn't make sense to me. He plays guitar on Hydros 3, he's all over the SYR records, and he definitely leaves rhythm behind altogether a number of times. Ironically some of his best stuff is on the less percussive songs: That "Pola X" song on Destroyed Room, Hoarfrost, stuff like that where he can barely be heard, but if you focus on it there's a lot to take in. Mega-props to Steve. And I think I remember reading in an interview with him and Lee that he is married w/ kid(s).
