Ho-hum. i like it. its very DIY.. and a lot of the tracks i found myself initially saying: "hmm.. well shit, this seems like something i could easily do in the station production studio" -- but i think this is a good thing, as it hopefully will promote some folks to do just that. or maybe thats just wishful thinking.. but im pretty into the DIY thing, mostly because thats where all the real creativity comes from (imo) initially i was a bit perplexed and only liked one of the tracks. but, each listen i give it, i find something else i like more and more.. i dont know how i feel about the "chicken dance" track though. i find it funny, but for me, it seems just a bit too choppy and thrown togther.. BUT, then again, there is really nothing else i can compare this to, aside from drawing a line to some early industrial (not dance) material. you got to have respect/appreciation for the v/vm guys though. they are putting out some fairly dark and difficult material, yet seem to be having fun.. and thats pretty damn cool. that being said.. i remember a few reviews on here: *one that said they loved it and kept listening to it over and over *one that was selling a copy because they already had "noodles" NOW.. if anyone has a copy of that Noodles thing OR the damn Privilidged Frames of Reference (vvm2?) release.. and they want to sell.. let me know. and onto this: > And don't bite Alex for his Ae review - everyone looks for something > different in the music they choose. i completely agree. chris. __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [*<n/ff> <=rr*/a|>r] - wednesdays 7-8 pm riders of the plastic groove - fridays 9-midnight kuci 88.9fm po box 4362 irvine ca 92616 -:.:'-"-':_/'"'"\_|'\-"-':_/_|'\_|'\_/'"'_/'"'"\_.:'-".:'-"'"'_/'"'_//'"'"
