Unfortunately, having heard the new single.... I'm not impressed in the slightest. It's like a cheesy metal song with a poorly developed break replacing a normal drum beat. I found it to be really boring, fortunately the video itself was quite pleasant to watch. I suspect however, that the weirder non-single tracks from the album could be pretty neat. But it still remains to be heard just how good they are. onnow: sultan 2 (fax) pleasant nighttime music (it's 6:00am) Lame Thread Prevention in Effect: Aaron Michelson --------------------------------------------------------------------- aw-teck'r (autechre) "Everything you Know is Wrong" For reviews, interviews, art & trash http://www.on-it.net/~aaron/ aaron@defiant.on-it.net
