Dunno about the Clark EP, but I'm no longer waiting for the LFO album. I've gotten hold of an advance (har har) copy - and I'm not impressed. It's nowhere as good as the first album; it hasn't got the real LFO sound, the rhythms are much more straightforward then usual, 'wide' digital layers of synth regularally float in and out of the songs, etc. There's one or two interesting tracks (I listened to it only twice so far), one of which is a sort of minimal mix of 'Tied Up'. The normal version comes by like a Godflesh track on a Bon Jovi album (well, maybe it's not THAT bad). And I already was disappointed by the new Ministry as well. Damn. Maarten

i'd have to agree here. admittedly i haven't given it a thorough listening, but from what i've heard it really doesn't get my 'nads pumping...but ehhh i could change my mind later. btw, my copy doesn't have a track listing. if anybody has it or can point me to where i could find it'd be much appreciated. peace, /| __ / Dang Chau =====|__| dnc@newt.phys.unsw.edu.au \ If Money is the Root of All Evil, Let Me Set You Free \|
