Hahaha, that's the reaction I had to Supercollider. Where you really want to
like it, but you are kind of embarassed by it. Yet somehow I was strangely
drawn to it and forced to listen to it over and over again by some invisible
forces. And now I think its great.
And then when Parts Water came out, the vocals seemed great... it didnt seem
like vocals for the sake of having vocals... it seemed like it was a
refreshing break from the almost pretentious nature of minimal techno. Not
to say that I dont absolutely love minimal techno... but sometimes it just
seems...cold and calculating or something. The vocals added some warmth to
it.
