Yeah that album sucked. Don't let it cloud your judgement. Bob Rifo is a very good producer in my opinion.
I know a lot of their older stuff as well, but I guess it's just not my style.
I did like their remix for Tiga a while back, other than I vaguely recall something called warp (7?) that was ok & maybe butter.
I even saw them live a few years ago before they were famous. I think they didn't even have own productions back then, except a few remixes probably. They were playing at this festival at around 14hrs or so, for a crowd of a couple dozen people.
I got to know the Crookers in much the same way.
