It's about 5 tracks of usual NWW surrealness but with a beat behind them.
Now I would NOT call it an idm beat. It is an electronic beat, but since
most all of NWW lacks any rhythm at all, it kind of upset people. It's
good though, still not something you would dance to. BTW--the cd that
followed that, _Who Can I Turn To Stereo_, is in my opinion much better as
it has the same style, but instead of 5 unrelated tracks it has 13 that
work together to form almost one long track.
The new Stereolab/NWW "Simple Headphone Mind" is now out on cd/12" and is
incredible (with fun packaging to boot!). Have yet to hear the newest NWW,
"Acts of Senseless Beauty" though.
btw--on the rhythm thing, from Wire magazine, June 1997:
"I mean, I've no interest in dance music; I don't dance, my hat would fall
off. Even the stuff that's on _Who Can I Turn To Stereo?_ and _Rock 'N'
Roll Station_ that are sort of rhythmic, I certainly wouldn't dace to them.
It's for concentrating on, a movie for your ears, and adventure which will
hopefully surprise you." He [Stapleton] adds emphatically: "One thing's
for sure, I'm finished with rhythm now."
