To my opinion the best things Dan Curtin produced are the three 12" es on his own label Metamorphic and the one before that on 33 rpm/Sinewave. Those tracks are really freakin'. Very chaotic and neurotic. Very cool. After that I haven't here that much good of him. His 12"es on Peacefrog are to me very weak. And with his album he tried to made something moody or cool I don't know but I don't find it that good. I just heard a new 12" of him together with a japanese guy (not Ken Ishi), and it was a bit like raw Chigago trax. I hope he finds his way back to things he used to produce... PEel SEamus
