this remix by fred g. is one of the most vicerally stimulating and intuitively usable dj tracks i have ever heard.the fact that you refer to it as "mind numbingly repetitive" only shows an unfamiliarity with the dj asthetic.now on the other hand,if they put that thing on a cd and didn't edit it down to about 4 or 5 minutes then that would be understandibly difficult for most people to relate to(not me,thank you)

I happen to agree with the first opinion of the track. I feel it is the least likeable mix on the album. The Vaporspace "moist sexy" remix being the best. But a great remix lp nonetheless. -->-Lance--- mclance@en.com

I don't have a problem with "mind-numbingly repetitive;" I have plenty of mind-numbingly repetitive music in my collection. The problem I have is that it's over 9 minutes long, goes nowhere, and isn't very interesting. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "useless" because, as you have pointed out, a DJ would have plenty of use for something like that. Something else I might suggest is that, despite its obvious DJ use, it doesn't really qualify as "intelligent."

Well, they did put it on a CD and didn't edit it down. It's not difficult to relate to, it's just boring. There's plenty of mind-numbingly repetitive music out there that's not boring, but this track is just not that compelling, IMHO. The other 8 tracks on the CD more than make up for it, though. -- Adam J Weitzman ----- Individual, Inc. ----- weitzman@individual.com "I love the music of the 20th century!" - Bruce Willis, "12 Monkeys"
