It's strange to me that you recommend these two so highly, since they
were the releases that finally put me off buying Kirk, after being a
huge fan of his work for years (check the early archives if you don't
believe me). Those two were the records where it became clear to me
that he'd completely run out of ideas and was just recycling the same
tracks over and over - without the genuine energy and spirit his music
had on albums like 'Plasticity' and 'Digital Lifeforms' - while
unsuccessfully attempting to put together something new on one or two
tracks (like that pitiful attempt at drum and bass on 'Every Man Got
Dreaming'). For me, Kirk peaked with 'Virtual State,' and it's been
a long downhill slide from there.
