I thought you wrote the review on Urban Sounds of the first Arovane single on
DIN? You know, the one that (unreasonably) said the 12" in question was
picking up from where Autechre dropped the ball after 'Amber'? Perhaps I've
got my pointless trivia mixed up.
Still, "hear hear" to Sean's general point, and I'd also like to suggest a
quick death to all the frankly incomprehensible "combination" comparisons too.
You know, like "the While album sounding like a cross between Boogie Down
Productions and Coil". I mean, what on earth is that supposed to sound like?
What period of either act? What aspects of each act's sound are retained?
Blurgo.
