I've got to admit that I agree in general with the summation of
'Generation Star Wars' - it is a fine, interesting, listen with some
beautiful white noise thrown throughout some 'fairly classic' (..?)
techno structures. I can be a real sucker for distorted beats, so it
wins with me... and the Death Star CD print sure impresses the ladies. ;)
'Les Etoiles Des Filles Mortes' is a difficult record. The closest
reference I can give is that of Oval but, instead of the songs being cut
up to give them unique and repetitive structures, the songs seem to have
been finished and then destroyed - cut up to hell and distressed. Many
people may feel that the time to get to know this record would not be
well spent but its shifting feel can provide a backdrop that makes sense
of some days.
'Limited Editions 1990-1994' is quite nice but, speaking for myself, I
wouldn't necessarily say that it grabbed me, although I am motivated to
keep listening to it for some reason. If I hear correctly, the first
track ("suEcide") might contain a sample from the theme tune to 'Wonder
Woman', and that can't be a bad thing...
If, as you seem to indicate above, your tastes are more towards his 'The
Destroyer' album then his future releases are probably the things to look
out for. 'Low On Ice' may tide you over as it does contain some nice
moments verging on jungle but with very stripped down and overall bass
heavy structures. The Grand Royal 7" single with "22:24" (a nice but
ambient kinda jungle-ish track from 'Low On Ice') and "The Peak" (a
version of "When You've Reached Your Peak" from 'The Destroyer') might
help to give you the idea.
Hope at least some of this helps.
