Not at all, imho. But it's quite apparent that he's always five minutes late, as someone (funnily) said. However, I think that he manages to come up with something of his own, even if the ideas are someone else's (which they are!) You just have to look at Fantomas' progression and it's line-by-line his own version of Naked City: quick-changes for the first album, movie soundtracks for the second one, Grand Guignol/Absinthe obscure ambient-kind of stuff for the third, and now the cartoons thing. For god's sake it's so obvious!!!! Anyway, he's involved in very interesting things (basically Fantomas) and, of course, dispensable projects like Lovage and Tomahawk (just my very subjective appreciation)

Really? I think he's currently putting out his most remarkable records, with Disco Volante's permission.
