I couldn't disagree more! You should listen to that record if you get a chance, as obviously there are two camps here! It won't be for you if you aren't into a little dub, weird bleepy electronic noise and experimental jazz (Miles, '70-s Roach). The Hi-Ryze seems uninteresting compared to he Germ 2LP, IMO, though it is better than most of the stuff out there on a broader scale...

This is an incredible 2lp! Melodic, weird and groovy at even levels...

the 7th Plain I'd like to find, Hannant has never grabbed me though...

In general, the GPR stuff is of a totally consistently high quality; worth buying blindly if you don't expect to have any other opportunities later... solenoid@europa.com <------+
