I have not heard Electronic Eye, but would love a review from someone who
has!
As for the others, working from the bottom of the list up:
Spirit: Agreed - it sucked
Intensely Radiaoctive- moderately intense, a few great tracks, but alot
seems just reworked material from the other albums- pick it up used IMO...
Sandoz- never seen a self titled...anyone?
Virtual State- the first two tracks are worth the whole cd, the rest gets
the same review as intensely...
Conversation- on the whole, his best work I've heard.
International Language- like it better than intensely, less than
conversation- definately better than plasticity
In general, his material sounds very similar from one album to the next,
but I still keep coming back- :)
Hope this helps-
