-in my humble opinion -ha -B&T (and especially from a distance) is created for pubescent Japanese and eurotrash youth -Alex desperately needs young blood to keep his cult alive. PS. thrash -digitally, only a fool doesn't expect the unexpected cos it wont' happen when you least expect it -madonna says have a nice fucking day --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo.

Alan Evil tribute act.....
by P J Kane 03 Jul '03

<< Expect at least one remix from me after the AmbientLive 2k3 show in Denver. >> excellent. so anyway i went to see some eletronic artists play in an art gallery last night. the middle guy (Adam Johnson ?) was mixing wierd old new wave stuff and really heavy beats..... and for some reason it reminded me of that Institute for Psychic Reform thingie i downloaded -- well, there was a few seconds of similarity, not overall similarity. and i thought to myself, "You know, a good name for a IfPR tribute band would be The Institute for Sidekick Reform", and then i had a wierd image of The Sidekick's Lounge at the Superhero Nightclub in the cartoon show _The Tick_. i think that the whole point of this is that i should avoid PBR on an empty stomach, but it was kind of funny.... just thought i would share, for no real reason. PJK please don't hate me because i can't type..... --- All the cool kids are doing it: HTTP://www.EvilSponge.org

B&T
by Alan 02 Jul '03

02 Jul '03

I really liked the first version of Cydonia that went around the 'net. The "official" version was very good but not as good as the wrong one. I think I like about half of this album. Unfortunately it's not half the songs. It's a big chunk of each song. There are some great elements in play here and some really amazingly deep bass (someone tell me how they get it to sound like that, please) but there are no full songs that grab me like what I expect. I bet it's fun party stuff live but for an Orb album it's just crap. I'd like to make an album with a fifth of their budget. Bet it would be stronger all around. But I can't stick three letters on the cover. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "Look at the past 25 years. We went downhill, and if people don't realize it, they don't have their fucking eyes on ... In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available to an average citizen in America right now... God almighty, what have we done to each other?" --Merle Haggard (June, 2002)
