>> Parting shot: >> No-U-Turn is "dark" music for people who have no idea what "dark" music >> actually sounds like. I agree, No-U-Turn are overrated, although they have put out some good stuff. I think the problem is their sound has not progressed. I have yet to hear any new stuff by them, so here's hoping they've given the old sound at least a new lick of paint... Torque was essentially more of the same and a nice roundup, but little else. Lets hope they push the envelope with forthcoming stuff. No more hoover bass or flat distorted bass, please! Meanwhile, Ed Rush is now blagging off Dom and Roland/Optical rather than Nico which makes his at least sound a little more interesting and different, but only credits him with the similar blagging tactics to Goldie and of generally being all bald head and no ideas. IMO. "Arthur B. Purvis" <xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxx> says: >Well, I haven't heard all of it, but I've heard quite a bit (Torque + some >random 12"s) and all of it's been pretty terrible. The same style >distorted, badly produced bass sound, the same 2step badly produced >drums, and some lame atmospherics. With the emphasis for me being on 'the same'. Quite liked their sound originally, but soon became staler the more and more similar stuff they put out. And no, it has nothing to do me trying to be credible, I just got bored and didn't want to own the same record howevermany (hoovermany?) times. >And I wanted to like it so badly - I >mean, dark drum and bass; this is an idea that inherently appeals to me >(as I'm sure it does to many of you, I won't explain any further). >Torque was easily the biggest letdown of the year.
