just got the new bisk album through the door last night (thanks again mark@hedonizm)... not that I've listened enough to go into a lot of detail, but so far it sounds absolutely phenomenal - skittering, shifting, beats mixed with static, flamenco guitar, what sounds like cartoon noises, beautiful modern avant-classical piano passages savagely cut up into bits, bowed instruments flayed into percussive noises, laurie anderson dodging something destroying a reichian influenced orchestra.... I love the two earlier bisk albums, but for some reason this new one sounds very much like (given a stable enough frame of mind to deal with it) it's going to be an album I'll be playing quite a lot :-) Iain H.
