I hate this fucking nonsense: * "Rae becomes haunting and cold, like a child left home alone on Christmas. Tear-shaped chord swells and a faint drawbar organ finish out the piece. This song is a close cousin to "Krib"; its primary emotion is wistful aloneness. " * [garbage ep] "Played at high volume, it sounds like the end of the world; a vast funeral for the soldiers of another galaxy; a ceaseless, wailing alien rendition of Taps. " * [tri repetae] "Stud: it begins with a pure supersonic oscillation, a drumbeat only dogs can hear; it ends in a wash of outerspace feedback, like solar rain. It evokes vastness, solitude, wandering. The album concludes in a similar storm. " * "The soaring climax brings a storm of percussive clicks and clanks; it sounds like a million glass marbles colliding in a hurricane. The coda fades away into childlike xylophones, playing tranquilly like the melodies at the end of Pule. Drane2 is an aria, a grand and mysterious anthem. " does this drivel actually attract anyone? why must people try so hard to sound so intelligent and come off incredibly phony? i dunno. this bothers me. :: wells oliver / s0ewoliv@titan.vcu.edu / http://mute.simplenet.com :: 'try to smile as they devour our youth'
