OK, I'll try again.... [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > If it sounds good then fine (I haven't listened to it and I have not dissed > it) but the concept sounds suspect to me. I'd like to turn this 'round a bit - I think the concept of the album was interesting (although not as radically original as some are claiming). However, I found the end result to be really lacking. There is absoutely no depth or flow to the mix, it just plods for 50 minutes. There are a few nice moments (e.g. when the synth line from the Climax flows in for the first time), but a lot of the rest is disjointed or plain bland. Some loops seem to have been placed for the sake of themselves, like the sort burst of Spastik which goes nowhere, and others take less interesting parts of records (like a lot of the Perlon and Playhouse material on there) and stretch them out beyond their usefulness. Another example of the the current paradigm of technique over substance in techno?
