doesn't sound even vaugely similar, I guess the lead synth line sounds similar to the lead lines from O'Brien, Whooshki, or Theme From Ernest Borgnine - but that's ok, I say he doesn't write enough shit that sounds like this.
quoted 1 line 50 cycle = f-train> 50 cycle = f-train
yes, but a much better version of f-train. the way the beat and bassline arise out of the chaos towards the end sounds great. and you can't really make out all the post-modernist sounding bullshit he's waffling on about for most of the song, which another improvement.
quoted 1 line iambic 9 poetry = iambic 5 poetry (well duh)> iambic 9 poetry = iambic 5 poetry (well duh)
again no, iambic 9 has much less going on and it's basically just the same progression played with two different rhythms whereas iambic 5 has a decent song structure going on. iambic 5 poetry is a much better track though.

i like baroque and fusion though, so i guess that's a good thing.
quoted 1 line menelec = anstromm feck-4> menelec = anstromm feck-4
yeah, coz they both have the same crazy prince of persia bass line and they even use the same break... oh wait...
quoted 1 line c town smash = wanky bass solo> c town smash = wanky bass solo
doesnt sound great at the start, but he really gets into it after about 30seconds, that's some pretty impressive bass playing.
quoted 1 line circlewave = wanky drum solo / my sound> circlewave = wanky drum solo / my sound
yeah, i guess they do sound similar; but it doesn't really bother me much - it's a nice track.

the first few times I listened to this I was in agreement with you, reminded of Sting or some bullshit, but it's strarting to grow on me. you left out the two best tracks on the album though... steinbolt - weird metal jungle insanity tetrasync - another great lead synth line, great cut up rhtyhms, great bass playing... it's definatley his best album since Music Is Rotted... ...skism --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
