>review of the Dirty Beatniks, with a vocalist called Mau. Is this the same >Mau from Earthling? ... Also, how is that dirty beatniks album?

as somebody else has said, yes, it's the same mau. only different. he's striking the "rock" pose now, sort of. his singing style reminds me of a cross between shaun ryder and bobby gillespie. the lyrics are quite good, dark reflections of club-life in a big city. dirty beatniks were part of the 'big beat' movement, and, as everybody knows, Big Beat Is Dead. only, now that they've gotten themselves a vocalist, you could say big beat is resurrected. actually, if it wasn't for mau, "feedback" would be a somewhat boring album. as it is now, it's good (but not great). hs _________________________________________________________ you see, it's kind of like i know it's not the same thing see, there were men on the moon, but they killed 'em. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
