Agreed. I wouldn't really consider either "In Dub" or "The Next
Chapter Of Dub" as albums though... `remix albums' definitely, but neither
are albums in the true sense of the word.
For such an amazing band, I could *never* figure out why they were
always soooo unproductive? So much potential, so much talent, yet so
little output after "In Dub". The last batch of releases were so
astonishingly bland and disappointing... after waiting years and years,
"How You Doin?" comes out and I about want to throw up. What in the hell
happened?

Wow, deja vu - John, you and I had the same argument last year about
RSW's live performance. Not that they'll ever tour again, but I say skip
it. When I saw them live in Orlando, Florida during the `Mute Over
Amerika' tour (for $10), and they were absolutely horrible. Yes at first
I was overwhelmed and excited, but then...

No, that's not what I was trying to convey. It's just that when
you've been waiting and waiting for one of your favorite bands to play,
and then it's announced that they are finally going to tour, then you
really start looking forward to it. And when you're actually there at the
show, and you're digging the music and the whole scene, but then the band
just stops playing after four songs...
^^^^^
...it's kind of a let down to say the least.

...they acted like they didn't want to be there. They had such a
shitty attitude on stage - one of the guys walked off after about two of
the songs, and Danny left during the third (didn't even finish the
vocals). Eventually it was just the drummer and a dj... *amazingly* their
music was still playing (wow, they must have been doing it by remote
control backstage).
And lately, that's how their music sounds. `Contractual commitment'
is right on the spot. I mean, what in the hell are they doing now anyway?
If they're not musicians anymore, then I guess they've got `real' jobs?
What a shame.
"1987 - 1995" is nothing more than an epitaph.
