Can't argue with that. Just read a review in the Irish Times where Squarepusher's "Go Plastic" got 4/10 and Howie B's "Folk" got 8/10!!!!!!!! So Howie B's new lp is twice as good as Squarepushers.... according to the Irish paper of record. Must check that out. Anybody read any reviews that made your blood boil? (the above didn't btw ;-D) ah as we all know "tastes are like assholes, everybody has some and they all stinks"... so obviously best is to locate which journalists has tastes closer to yours and maybe pay attention to his writings. Then if another press mogul has different tastes, and dislikes a band you like. Why not ? At least you know you can go and buy it... I like journalists who explains their point, tell you why they dislike or like something. Dislike those who write just for the sake of writing an essay, and I'd rather say that those aren't "failed rock stars" but "failed novelists"... have a nice evening philippe BiP-HOp Generation v. 3 [bleep 05] The series is truly a document of today's creative forms of Electronica. 14 exclusive songs, musically packed with almost 80 minutes, the composers are each given much longer amounts of time to showcase their talent. Even for those who think there should be a moratorium on Electronica compilations, this is worth checking out.
