yeah but they were there just to please the crowd, i didn't expect anything
special - this is a big fuck-off rave we're talking about here you know,
not an art gallery. nothing is cast in stone until we hear the new
material and then we can see whether they still have anything left to say.
i still reckon the lp will be about, erm, spaceships meself

i don't see why not, but after all it *was* a rave wasn't it?

that's quite right, but why do they have to *change* anything? just making
good music would be good enough for me. thing is, who IS really looking
forward to the new material? the horror of elektric music is still fresh
in my mind

ok, adam f, he's pretty crap, let's forget about him for a sec..
i don't find much bland about the stuff bukem has done (i.e 'music' and
'horizons') or, for that matter, a lot of roni size stuff like 'witchcraft'
'soul power' and 'reasons for sharing', and while both have certainly done
their fair share of crap remixes (and some great ones too) i don't see any
reason to shit on them for not sounding like squarepusher or 4-hero,
because that isn't the idea, is it? i mean, good luck to roni size for
winning that mercury prize thing, the only important thing is whether he'll
be sucked into the showbiz tumble drier and spat out a couple of years down
the line as a has-been, or continue to make (IMHO of course) good
unpretentious music. unfortunately bukem seems to have already gone down
the media-slag path
but anyway, whatever, if you don't dig it, that's fine, but i'm not a punk
really, at least not 24 hours a day.
cheerio!
