My second post ever to the list and I'm in hot water!
I guess I had them mixed up with Ministry and all their various offshoots
(at least for place of origin) - I'm always willing to mend my erroneous
ways in the direction of liking everything (especially if I find something
for $2 or less in the used bin ) - what's their single best release?
Michael Upton said of the Matador Burger/Ink _Las Vegas_:
<I haven't heard it in a while, but my memory of it was a lot of
big washy synth sounds over metronome-style pulsing kicks, and quite a raw
production style - things distort at the edges, without it ever getting
aggro. >
Not sure about "big washy synth" which makes me think more of a classic
Detriot techno style but perhaps that's not what you meant - it reminds me
of Mannequin Lung which I wouldn't consider raw at all (at least compared
to Autechre or Farmer's Manual or anything like that) - it bubbles along a
bit unassumingly with a dubby edge to the bass parts and eventually draws
me in through it's sheer repetitiveness which eventually become almost
intense in its insistence - it reaches that degree that makes unimaginative
coworkers suggest that the record is skipping.
