I picked this up today and it is not the marbled grey vinyl. I'm not worried about that. What I am concerned with is why did mine just come in a vinyl sleeve and does this have a tracklisting??? BTW...ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT CYLOB IS WOW!!!

My copy of "INdustrial Folk Songs" is the same; vinyl in a clear plastic sleeve. I don't think there's a track listing, but the EP needs no such thing, it's 100% pure metal! Now that's a new way to express things such as this! Anyway, did the grey vinyl come out as a limited edition thing, or did they just run out? Wouldn't surprise me if it was the latter, knowing Rephlex. Ahem... pb4ugo2bed(Who?) James Benjamin Gill-----jgill@u.arizona.edu**********************************

NO JOKE!!! JASON

I think if you take any music and try and pigeonhole it in a musical category, you limit your abilitiy to truly absorb it by clouding your mind with expectations that a particular genre give. Don't think Industrial when listenong to Cylob. Think music. It is quite an interesting bit of music. How someone might go about layering noise in a musical manner like that is amazing. Very few artist have managed to actually use noise musically. Most of today's "industial" artists go nowhere near noise. Most of today's "noise" artist go nowhere near music. Cylob and I'd have to say Kinesesthesia (though I haven't heard Empathy Box and the remixes yet) do an excellent job of being noisey while ramaining musical. This is very tough and I challenge any of you to pull it off with the finesse that these releases have. I'm not quite sure I agree about RDJ's releases doing this though. I feel him much more musical with a gritty edge. I haven't heard everything though, so I haven't any clue what he's up to now. I do have Ventolin, however, which is still gritty to me but still very musical. Paradinas has an uncanny ability to pull off using sounds which if used by others would sound cheap and campy. Paradinas' music isn't noisy, it's just bold and dares to incorporate sounds and styles which everyone else fears or just plain misses. Of course this is all my very biased opinion. __ -robert | |___ ____ ____ _____ | |_ \ / -__/ / _/ | _ \ __________ |_____/ \___\ |_| | |__/ / -studio- \ _________________________________ |_| http://icse1.ucsd.edu/~rcurlee/ \
