i'm going to say yes on this one. maybe it doesn't stand up to the bytes lp, which is after all the best record anyone will ever make on this planet, but for me it has something which is unique amongst a deluge of formula-driven clinical muzak. plaid may make pleasing noises, but it doesn't have very much that resonates *within* me, it just sounds way too cold and academic to even compare to the classic tbd material, which adverts is a great deal closer to imho. i think adverts is a lot better than the people here on idm give it credit for. it might have dull production in places, but production isn't everything, and at least ken is playing with the formulas, trying to make something new

reload is a must buy, whether it's the short stories lp or the new archive ep. alec empire, well i don't see much appeal in his records. you could do a lot worse than the new lps by squarepusher autechre or as one. or get hold of herbie hancock's headhunters lp which is on a reissue at the moment, and discover where all these techno guys stole their ideas from ;-) np - arpeggiator - the durutti column ~~~ Through universes of worlds of shadows, S G the subconscious geography remains a constant. ~~~ Makyo 622AD
