Alright Goddammit, stop this madness. I think the Dave Clarke album is
fucking brilliant. And the same with Lionrock. No, I'm not a fan of
DeConstruction, but these artists are actually giving the label a little
bit of stature. I do have to agree with you about Muzik giving a pat on
the back to the brits. Except the Advent. When their new one comes out,
will you hate it too because it will be loved up in Muzik and won't sell
well?????? I for one am a big fan of the Advent, D. Clarke, AND Lionrock.
This album("Instinct....") does more than most. Take the diversity of
tracks such as
"Snapshot on Pollard St.", and "Number Nine" (I think that's what It's
called, but I don't have the album handy right now). The styles that
Lionrock use are many; as with D. Clarke. Who would've expected "No One's
Driving" in a million years?? "Archive one" is a more extreme example of
being stylistically prolific; but what tracks are not to be liked? (Ok, a
few of the disco-esque tracks I could do without. I don't think Glenn
Underground is the shit either). My point is that these albums contain
excellent tunes. And I know that's subjective, but I feel that "Wisdom to
the Wise", "Thunder", and "No One's Driving" are above par, and my booty
tells me the same when I'm out punting to em'. IMHO, as always.
If you prefer more "Underground" status for your bag, check out Tim
Taylor/Dan Zamani a.k.a Pump Panel a.k.a Planet of Drums. These artists
create tracks that are just as good as D. Clarke etc,. but will appeal to
the people who cannot stand to be "Overground", or like something on a
major. Excellent toons exist by all artists mentioned in this post!!
if anyone here doesn't like "Altered States", they should be shot.
Ron Trent is the bomb!!!!!
