Um... I'd call that a slightly unfair criterion to slag them on (failing
to pass muster in an artificial music-press created genre...) I love
Mo' Wax, but I'd hardly take swipes at Portishead (or Massive Attack, or
whoever) for not sounding like the stuff on that label.
Anyway, I happen to think _Dummy_ is gorgeous, although not particularly
thislisty... (look for a review in freeke reviews #8 anyway, due sometime
before the next ice age, honest)
on now: "Stutter" by Elastica
(it's OK, I don't have one of those cool NovaMute
"Fuck the New Wave of New Wave" shirts...)
