For some reason I feel compelled to admit this rather shameful bit about myself...I like TD's album "Optical Race" and I find that their earlier albums are nothing more than pointless excursions into analog wankering, knob tomfoolery and filtered monkey business. In fact, early TD is nothing more than a hideously mutated prog rock band in which the nasally singer and posturing guitarists have been replaced by sentient ARP 2600s oscillating their own damn selves. But what is newer TD? Nothing than new age drivelyou might argue, emasculated elevator music that deserves to be filed with Kitaro and JM Jarre. OK fine...But this point was to remind you that not everyone conforms to your hip,sophisticated, rebellious,ear to tha mudafuckin' street sensibilities. Er..now as a matter of damage control I offer this idm acceptable query: Has anyone picked up that white label four-tracker by New Electro Sound of London? Who are these guys, and what else have they done? khannan suntharam kxs28972@bayou.uh.edu
