I stumbled across a copy of More Brilliant Than the Sun and found it to be unreadable; I've never read such crap in my life. All these made-up submicrocategories (and smashed-together words) for music. The worst cliches of Brit music journalism all collided together in one volume. Eshun makes Neil Ollivierra (back when he was a writer) look like the soul of brevity. Time to read Techno Rebels for the 20th time. Some folks took Dan (congratulations !) to task for its relatively short length, but at least you didn't come away feeling like you just slogged through a field of mud with heavy boots on. Maybe it's because I know the cats personally, but Goddamn, it's not like Drexciya is actually saying anything even if they do have "lyrics". Can we navel-gaze some more please ? In the words of Chris Rock, "whatever happened to crazy ?" a. www.puresonikrecords.net
