Why bother? I bought Jacob's Optical Stairway and was SO impressed I could
have imploded right there. Then I bought this 4 Hero Mr. Kirk single thing,
for less than a dollar, because I'd heard that Dego et.al are 4 Hero. Egad,
I thought, as to my utter terror I listened to the ultracliched protodancic
shit of "Energize" mix, this is just, just- awful... one of those gimmicky
sample house-esque shit mainstream "dance" tunes! Aargh! So I removed the
tape form my car stereo, and threw it out the window at some minivan.
However, I found "Parallel Universe" today, and got it, just to see, you
know... and wow, almost imploded again... damn fine jungle stuff, just like
JOS only slightly less refined, but... well, woweee. Thing is, I ponder to
this day: how does the wonderous jungle creations of 4 Hero get mutated
into the utterly non-jungle, non-jazzy, non-intelligent, and, dare I say
it, non-musical shit techno of that Mr. Kirk single? God, someone should do
something about this, before the trend continues and we find AFX tunes
being overlaid with diva vocals, hi hats, plain ole undistorted 4/4 beats,
thier musical guts replaced by two note plain synthy happidanci riffs, and
marketed to the masses as such... God, what a nightmare... oh, the
humanity....
