Not quite the shit that Gonzi was promising.... I was expecting, well not exactly a complete departure from the Isophlux 12", but maybe something a lot more evolved. The sounds are good, but still same-y Lexaunculpt beats... very Push Button Objects sounding.... it's good, but not exactly the October Revolution I was expecting. Aaron

No, I agree that it's not a revolution at all. In fact, I was somewhat disappointed with it when I first got it because I thought it was really samey MAS/Autechre type drippy little drum pitterings that I'd heard so often before, but since then I've listened to it at least 30 times & it has really become one of my favourite things to listen to for a while now. So what I'm saying is, give it more of a chance & some more time to sink in.

This is the hazard of too much hype, in advance, for too long. No record can stand up to that, if only because it is the nature of some people to need to tear down anything that has been built up past a certain point -- independent of its merits. Haven't heard the record, so I can't comment on it specifically. --Mark __ Burning Rome : SENSELESS CD on Mindfield Records MindCD03 Cathartium 14 > Distributed by Dutch East India Trading, Com Four, and Carrot Top < < http://www.xnet.com/~mkolmar/BurningRome > < MP3 & RealAudio tracks >

The only time I think hype has been completely justified was for Squarepusher's first album on Rephlex, "Feed Me Weird Things." Check the archives for some rather extreme messages from Grant Wilson Claridge. He got everyone psyched for the record, and when it finally came out, I wasn't disappointed in the slightest.....

luck had nothing to do with it! I hope you realize the incredible foresight and brilliance that went into planning this. I packed the records, mp3 1, mp3 2, mp3 3, so those who bought more than one copy would have an excellent chance of not getting the same track. :) Gonzi|Fresh|Merchan Orange Fax Orange County, CA PO Box 253 (714)993-9248 USA Atwood, CA 92811
