yes, it's quite good...it does sound different than 'haunt me', but listening to them back-to-back i can hear a lot of similarities in tone, use of ambience, etc...'haunt me' is a lot more stripped down and stark. i bet if you play a few copies of it on 3 or 4 systems simultaneously, slightly off-time, you'll get something close to the dense sound of 'my love...'... 'my love...' feels a lot more playful, of course, and to be honest, i like the sounds and the complexity in it a bit more than 'haunt me'. but yeah, van halen. that's completely obvious listening to the first track. a chopped and channeled lick from 'ain't talkin bout love' is currently smacking me in the face. can't see how i missed it the first few times. and according to the alien8 site: 'Here Hecker has laced together snippets of interviews, concert announcements and the manipulated sounds of the original artist to come up with possibly the most engaging experimental electronica to emerge in some time. Sampled voices unfold while a transformed guitar chord comes tearing from the left to the right speaker before erupting and reshaping itself again.' "eddie claims sammy bit him in the back 15 times." heh. also, white trash! http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/07/29/afterlife.argument.reut/index.html -z --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
