Did anybody else catch this SCATHING RETORT? Not that there was much to
reply to, but why multiply the inconsequential?

I disagree
saw them last night and left after 2 "songs". it really sucked... I feel
ripped off... anyway, their music is just technical noise with no emotion,
tells no story etc... it's not really music...

Pithy quote of the day: "The future of music is not music"
In semi-related thoughts, after listening to Confield for the past couple
of days I'm struck by how monotonous it *isn't*. Sometimes more ambient,
sometimes straightforward, this album is a lot more melodious and
structured than the reviews I've read make it out to be (if you consider
'they didn't make <x>' or 'it's just boring' to be reviews). Rhythms that
seem chaotic and noisy coalesce and the busy-ness smears into the spaces
between upfront sounds. Subtlety is lost on those who can't appreciate it.
;)
It's nice to see a band not getting stuck in a rut.
