i agree... i tend not to use reverb because it masks the subtle pops 
and crunches of the digital sounds.. but short, intentionly low 
quality reverbs with no low pass filtering on them can sometimes 
bring out the glitches into a new space..

but, definitely the koner or chain reaction style of reverb (which is 
gorgeous in their music) would mask what i'm trying to accomplish.

there's also something about a dry sound that's very "up close".. 
right in your face.. almost grating.
