Personally, I've felt the same way about Richard Kirk in general
-- he throws out so much music that it's easy to get rather unexcited
(I'd say blase, but it looks silly without its little accent mark) about
any of it. That said, both Sandoz albums are brilliant, and they're my
favorite Kirk stuff. I didn't get all that excited about the trilogy. I
can't say why, but it never really hit me well.
The new Richard Kirk, Virtual State, is really good too. Maybe I
should go back and check out those CV albums again...
Oh, and the Sandoz albums are _Digital Lifeforms_ and _Intensely
Radioactive_, both on Touch.
