It's post-Cure, but I like it better than what I've heard off Looks Or The Lifestyle (which I never picked up). The sampling is still there but much, much, subtler, and there's acres of fat sloppy shit going on in the background. You have to listen *through* the guitars to hear it, but once you're there, it pops out at you. The singles so far are a little more "surface" than the album as a whole -- "Cape Connection", "Everything's Cool" and "Babylon" are all killer, though. Maybe I should go back and reassess Looks. -- Lazlo (lazlo@rt66.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Techno techno bloody *techno*, darling!"
