As a coincidence, I'm listening to "Music About Love" now. It makes me
think of a nightmare you have with a high fever. Unsettling indeed!
_WW_ is better than _Natural Composite_, IMO, but _Truth is Born of Arguments_
is still my favorite. It's "grittier" than the first two; lots of fuzz
and distortion mixed with haunting melodies. The first or second track
after "Penetration" sounds like his hard disk has exploded and what you
hear are the twisted shards and fragments of samples floating by.
My cup o' tea, yes. :)
