I go along with current opinion, what with Mr James not turning
up for Nosferatu, ABIV, Phlid et al, I think he's definitely peaked,
not like the "I haven't started yet" stories we used to hear. IF
ABV is a stormer then I'll happily eat my words, as I still hold all
the previous stuff as work of a genius.
Also disappointing : Global Chillage, although it claims to have
300 samples it sounds like a synth-fest to me, not like the
inspired "Flying High".
Although IDM is great for its variance, I'm much more into the
dubby mad side of things (like EBN & MBM now that you lucky
americans have got Jack Dangers, now we'll have to wait for the
imports instead of the other way around!) than this new electronic
stuff like Vibert & Simmonds, Autechre, Biosphere etc etc
Playing in my head : Depth Charge ("Nine Deadly Venoms") : Number Nine!!
