well, anything Tortoise has doen after Millions Now Living has been complete shit. no joke. TNT is so awful, taking all of their influences (ennio morricone, bad jazz, mouse on mars and some other shit) and throwing it all together to make something spectacularly worse then what they stole from. Tortoise versus The Ex is unlistenable, and the madison ave 7" is bad too. basically tortoise have noe great album (millions now living) one great 12" (gamera) and one great 7" (why we fight) the rest of their catalogue both before and after is crap. i don't know why i wrote this steve In a message dated 10/20/99 4:45:54 PM Pacific Daylight Time, xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx writes: << I saw Oval play last year when he opened for Tortoise at the 9:30 Club in DC; seeing him live only made me dislike his music even more. He stood behind some PC moving the mouse and making a bunch of clicky-click-CD skipping sounds with some occasional bass sounds. Real fucking gimmicky. It was a perfect opportunity to go put some Tortoise records I'd bought in the car. Jeff >>
