While I'll give you the Crash statement, Naked Lunch the film, as a self-contained film (ie removing all relation to Burroughs) was a damn fine flick. Totally off the deep end in a far more immediately aesthetically pleasing way than the novel (granted, this may be the basis for your statement, but you didn't articulate much). And for the record, much of the material came from Junkie, not Naked Lunch proper. BTW Wells, not to be insulting at all, but you bitch far too much. I agree with your bitchings 100% of the time so far, but I don't see much point to just shouting out how much Goldie sucks every time his name comes up (and Digital was surprisingly good; I would give it a listen. Totally different from the commercial diva pap that made him famous/"important" - basically really mechanical breaks (think maybe Photek's Third Sequence, but less blatantly scifi and more large-machines-in-a-small-room) and the No-U-Turn bass sound done in an actually bearable way. I won't go into how worthless and pretentious the entirety of the No-U-Turn roster is at the moment, but this is the way you'd think it sounds from some of the hype... Dark, but not murderously dark, more mechanically dark.) Parting shot: No-U-Turn is "dark" music for people who have no idea what "dark" music actually sounds like. --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto

What I've heard of ISN has been kind of laughable, but I haven't heard much. Lustmord I'll give you - do you honestly think that No-U-Turn is as "dark" (for the record, I hate calling music "dark," but it seems to get the point across) as Heresy, however? What I do like that's IDM applicable (or not), in no real order: Autechre. 1/2 of Aphex (maybe less, but what I like, I like a lot). Godflesh/Techno Animal/Sidewinder/Solaris/Final. Mouse on Mars. Stravinsky. Scorn. Skinny Puppy - Last Rights only really, but it's a top 10 of all time. Sunny Day Real Estate. Nirvana. Pearl Jam. Coil. Current 93. Nurse with Wound. Einsturzende Neubauten (oodles). Aube. Can. The Hafler Trio. The Gate. John Fahey. Illusion of Safety. 0/Panasonic. Fushitsusha/Nijiumu. Many Siltbreeze records bands. Underworld. New Kingdom. Black Moon (oodles). Cypress Hill. DJ Krush. DJ Shadow. Slotek. Prince Charming. Dr. Israel. The rest of the Wordsound records, except Prince Paul's Psychoanalysis and the Laswell/Style Scott. Muslimgauze. My Bloody Valentine (oodles). Codeine. Photek. Beastie Boys. Rage Against the Machine. US Maple. Flying Luttenbachers. Zeni Geva. Ghost. Cosmic Invention. Third Eye Foundation. Hood. Flying Saucer Attack. John Coltrane. Cecil Taylor (only the crazy stuff though). Bartok. Barber. Smetena. Seefeel. etc. etc. etc. I keep a review archive at http://www.princeton.edu/~abpurvis/ if you're interested - I think about 50 long reviews up there now. Doesn't give much of an overview per se of what I like, however, but it'll give you something to rag on I'm sure (laugh). 24 minutes in Christmas left over here... --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto
