how does the ice album & new kingdom's "paradise don't come cheap"
compare to godflesh's "songs of love and hate in dub"? i bought it
primarily from arthur's review on his web site & since have been a
little underwhelmed. the d'n'b track (almost heaven?) is utterly brutal
& amazing, but the hip hoppier pieces are pretty dull. i was hoping for
louder, crazier, dirtier & it didn't deliver. can you make any
comparisons?
ethan
btw, in general i think arthur's site is pretty much on for reviews,
just missed me on this one...
