So he's already in good with yours truly. Standard >Kristian fare in the vein of tracks apparently descended from >cavern-dwelling fish.

Somewhat different from a lot of his stuff in that >reliance on beats and basslines is much more pronounced, but since the >beats & basslines are generally always on par with the stuff on top it's >not a problem in any way, and certainly makes his work a little more >accessible. With all the synthesized yelping here and there, it's >probably about as pop as DK gets. Try it out- makes you see demons in >the cinderblocks. I'm not kidding. > I have to second the recommendation on that one. It will certainly be on my top of '99 ( for what it's worth), even more after seeing him play live. If you ever have the chance of seeing him live, you should go, problem is I'm not sure he's doing show outside of Montreal & Toronto... Also for those already owning and liking this CD, DK is mostly doing that "genre" these days. The sequel to "Beneath The Valley Of The Modulars" is almost ready. Seb
