Here's a reply to the message "RE: (idm) New U-ziq" you wrote on Thu, 12 Aug 1999 19:07:11 -0700: >I like Lunatic Harness a lot. >I hate the new album. Track 7 (I think) is the only track I like. >go figure. Yeah, I wasn't knocked out by 'Royal Astronomy' either. I liked the single, 'The Fear', which was a quirky slice of techno pop, but the rest of the album feels a bit... well, cold. All that "classical meets breakbeat" just doesn't sit well with me -- and Mr A. Twin did it so much better on 'Richard D James'. As did Global Goon on 'Cradle of History'. I've always found Paradinas' stuff a bit on-off anyway. I love the Tusken Raiders stuff, Urmur Bile Trax, some of the early Rephlex and even the Mike & Rich album (although I'm probably alone here!), but other things, such as the new album, Lunatic Harness, the Jake Slazenger album and the Speedy J colaboration don't quite work for me. -- Mark Stevens http://www.headspin.clara.net/
