I don't actually enjoy Folktronic as much as, say, Joemus, in listening terms. I think the ideas around it are interesting, if a little bit of their time and place (which is fine, it was an exciting time and place). I think the 2011 record, if there is one, will be a collaboration with Hypo. I'll probably love it, but nobody will buy it or review it.
You may be overestimating Folktronic because of the place it has in a nostalgic moment in your own lifestory (and I welcome personal accounts of how these records fitted the lives of their listeners) just as I'm underestimating it because there's an "awkward interval" between 2000 and 2009. The memes, like the spectacle frames, look a little naff.

But I agree that Little Apples has... something.
