Unfortunately, i could not agree more. I've liked their stuff since NewBuild. The last album, yuch, and with has-been rock stars like that Ian guy-even worse! I remember reading in NME how much he hated techno, i guess after his 'career' took a nose dive he'd try anything to get back on top. Anyway, sorry to be anal but voiceprint has been domestic for years on vinyl, it just got a CD release, very strange, not? And what's up with Price? I've never seen his Switzerland stuff, anyone else? enjoy the weekend time...space...transmat@teleport.com bleep on!
