Geez, the Aphex backlash starts here, eh?
Erm, as far as "strikingly new or innovative" goes, I haven't heard anything
from "Industrial Culture" in several years that deserves that appelation.
On the other hand, the track Jon dubs "Distorted Beat" wipes the floor with
every "Industrial" song I've heard in recent memory. It f*ck*n' cranks, dUUd!
(-:
And I would hardly call SAW II a "Trance" album ... but isn't this like saying
because it's "three notes repeated over and over", then therefore it's just
like a Ramones album? (-:
Trivia: the track Jon calls "Flutey ascension with Percussion" is the track
he opened with in San Francisco. He also might have played "Blue Calx", but by
then my brain was in a parallel universe ... (-:
