hello, and greetings. I saw Sparta live last summer in Edmonton, and I am going to see TMV in may in montreal...and i have listened to ATDI for a long time. neither Sparta, nor TMV are mirror images, or anything close to ATDI, imo. I find sparta (wiretap scars) to have a more synthetic edge and TMV a more bluesy/jazz edge, and i think that both bands are the perfect offspring of ATDI. Sparta doesnt rock my boat live, thats for sure. and even though i dont happen to be a huge fan of sparta, its probably really hard to even offshoot from a band such as ATDI simply because of the standards of die-hard ATDI fans, and what they would expect. Frances the Mute is apprently the musical equivilant of the diary or notebook or their former soundster (deceased), and is intended to be a 'concept album'. same goes with deloused..i believe there is a book you can buy or get online deciphering the contents of the lyrics of deloused. interesting stuff.
