Which was mostly people out here really hyping up his interesting live
shows, I think. Of course the old 12" sucks. It sucks like a tornado. I
heard it for the first time recently and wondered if this was that *other*
Lexaunculpt. Anyone who hyped the 'here's some noises' record to you was
just getting carried away in the heat of the orange county moment, I think.
But! Lexaunculpt does rock, 12" aside.

As someone who just this last weekend joined that august group of cd-r
snots, my two cents are: the material that's new is much, much better than
the old stuff. You may still not like it, I'm sure a lot of people won't,
but it's obviously much matured from the old jank. It's not completely
mind-blowing, but it's good to listen to. I've been listening to it tons
this week, and I'm not bored with it yet.
It is too bad it's taking a while for a cd to be released, because
after seeing him locally, and seeing people on the list expressing
interest, I do want to see what the reaction will be.

Ow! I'm blind! Bliiiiind!
No, but really. I wasn't impressed with that release when I just
heard it, and I do like his new stuff a lot. So don't be *too* jaded.
Some of my fellow socallers are a little easily excitable about
lexaunculpt, but give the upcoming cd a try. It *is* a lot better. Even
if you still hate it, I guarantee you won't hate it as much. :p Given some
of the stuff that's gotten lots and lots of people excited and I found
sub-impressive like red snapper or jega or whatever that doesn't float my
boat, I think alex is worth at least a small bit of hype.
Speaking of Jega, I bought that Jega record on planet mu with the
mecha on the cover. Um, it's for sale if anyone wants it.
