> "Rock Critics" love to 'analize' lyrics. That's why most of them are at a > loss when it comes to techno..they don't know what to say when there are no > words. tell me about it. i picked up (but didn't purchase) rolling stone the other day just to browse through it. the review of the ninja tune comp (funkungfusion) made me laugh out loud...the few times they've reviewed ninja tune releases, they spend half of the 100 words talking about coldcut and how they go way back to the 'paid in full' remix. yes, it's a groundbreaking remix. yup, coldcut's influential. and great. they only have one track on funkungfusion. and most people who are going to pick it up already know all that. so the guy spends the rest of the review (rightfully) praising the comp, but then bitches right at the end about how it's not continually mixed. and then gives it three stars. sheesh. no mention of the funki porcini, vibert, or mr scruff tracks, no attempt to give an overall 'feel' of the discs. ah, american press. blah. rob
