I don't have nearly as much to say as you did, other than the fact that I thought the new Pumpkins track ("Eye", avail on "Lost Highway") was brilliant. Yes, all rock music has suddenly become boring, but I found the last SP album (Mellon Collie) to be more than interesting, and I think Corgan has continued that with the new song. It may not be the best electronic song ever written, but I find it a lot easier to listen to than U2... (BTW, that makes two songs on the "Lost Highway" soundtrack following this so-called new trend: "The Perfect Drug", and "Eye". Anyone else find that weird?) +-------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | Ryan Visima | richard d james: aphex twin | | rvisima@astral.magic.ca | http://www.magic.ca/~rvisima/aphex/ | +-------------------------+----------------+--------------------+ | nine inch nails: the art of self destruction |Performa 6320CD | | http://www.magic.ca/~rvisima/nin/ |48MB/1.2GB/4xCD | +----------------------------------------------+----------------+
