 It is a bit weird writing reviews of reviews. . however that Fullswing
review is pretty weird in itself yet it's rather thought provoking.

 There's a part where he talks about the versions of the remixes that one
doesn't hear and the soundfiles that didn't get used and the effect those
recordings have on the way one hears the compositions. He also talks about
'mourning' and I don't really hear that in the pieces( well , maybe the
Laub); it's interesting what people consider dark or sombre and how that
affects them different ways.I get the feeling the reviewer smokes alot of
dope , though I give him credit for hinting at things people don't usually
mention in record reviews.


 I also listened to the audio clips from the taylor deupree/frank
bretshneider release at the Mille Plateaux site and as I was listening to
'vertical invader'( isn't that the name of an old weather report tune?) I
thought that it kind of had the feeling of a kraftwerk song , yet it didn't
have words. Well, I came up with few words and  I dismissed them as being
stupid ; after recent events , well they still look kind of embarrassing but
ok.
