It's kind of hard to say what they sound like, as different releases are likely to be entirely different. For example, "Thirst" is a bit jazzy and "song" oriented, while "The Hacker" is fast and totally robotic, and "The Act" (on an EP with "The Hacker" is dark ambient strangeness like some early Skinny Puppy stuff. (Disclaimer: I am not a ClockDVA expert by any means.) (Trivia that every other ClockDVA aficionado probably already knew except me: "dva" is Russian for "two", and there is a little clock icon showing two o'clock on the cover of many of their releases. Until someone told me about "dva", I was completely in the dark as to what DVA stood for.) np: Laswell/Inoue "Cymatic Scan" __ Ben Cox cox@transarc.com
