I agree wholeheartedly with you.

I didn't have a massive expectation of it as i didn't really
take to 'Freak' as an LFO track, but the album is a
combination of millionare dogs and freak as it alternates
between that reconisable techno tone and the more glitchy
side (a possible reflection on the way music has changed so
much since mr bell started dabbling)

although it does take a fair few listens to get into the
mood for it..

I can't stop listening to "mokeylips" and "nevertheless".

yeh yeh yeh.

"brown" is definately the right way to start the album, and
get you very excited for the rest of it

I have to admit I didn't like it at first, but it has grown
on me a lot over the few listens after that. Bit of a shame
Butterslut and Millionaire Dogs aren't on there, but you
can't have everything. It's got a good sound to the whole
album, sort of old danceable electronica, but with modern
production. I'll probably include it in my next warp order.

dogs to be on it..but nevermind

It's looped three times at the start of the last mix tape I
made :)

I reckon I'll to do an extended mix of it myself now I know
it's not on the album.

I've heard most of it, and I love it. I like the style and
thumping beats, kind of a Caustic Window/AB3 vibe to me...
similar sounding production.

The ''robot'' voice just isn't cool or funny or cute or hip
anymore though. That's my only quibble.

In these days of the Ventian Snaresesque Everything and the
Kitchen Sink approach, I can see how it could be poorly
recieved though. But I'm diggin' gritty 4/4 beats now.

Indeed, it's not all about how clinical your beats are or
how technically stunning it sounds, or how many mad sterile
clicks you can cram between 360 beats per minute.. If it
sounds good it damn well is good.

Why those {humerous yet racist remark removed} fiends. At

Frequencies. Is that the case ?

Known as "the Waltz King of Europe," André Rieu was raised
on classical music and began taking fiddling lessons at the
age of five. He conducts the Strauss Opera and has recorded
public-television specials in the United States as well as
musical albums for Polygram. Of the latter, both Strauss &
Co. as well as In Concert made several European charts in
late 1996.

Have you seen him play? He has an entourage of busses with
him playing plastered on and plays cheesy classics! I'm
sorry, I like the classics but he doesn't do them justice.

To be honest I couldn't give a shit. You seem very

what do you do? I'll ask my friend to find out exactly what
you do.... let's talk about work...

this isnt some sort of elite club where you filter out
opinions. its a message board. expect to get some opposition
on a topic about lfo sheath, regardless. people can still
have opinions and not be complete jerkheads too, (though im
finding this more rare lately).

i didnt hate or like sheath. theres no way i could go an
extreme side on it. it was definitely a lot better than i
thought it would be (didnt like freak much at all), but it
had equal moments i wasnt too satisfied with.

all in all it was a nice listen. not something id listen to
a lot but its worth checking it out.

mm yes, but there was a specific Sheath bashing thread made
- so out of polarisation this Sheath praise thread was
born.

so you see, it really fits quite well into the ebb and flow
of a messageboard.

im glad to see a praise thread about sheath, i was begining
to think it was just me who liked it
i think its really good, quite deversed, i think tracks like
"mum-man" could be some new direction, i heard lory d play
similar stuff (not so many melodies, but the feel to it was
the same) this weekend and i enjoyed it a lot
definitely "sheath" is a nice surprise for me, as i wasnt
expecting anything

man i can't tell you how good it is, i'm just relieved my
copy finally shipped today after an apparent 1 week delay in
the US (it's still not in most chains). i'll finally get to
hear it next week. let's just hope the previous 2 LFO albums
are reissued in the US and that any upcoming EP's also get
some decent distribution. i'm curious to hear who remixes
some of the new LFO stuff and how many b-sides will actually
be released (any more compilation appearences? why don't
warp artists participate in compilations lately? also,
totally separate, but why don't people like radiohead,
bjork, tool, and other big artists do compilations anymore?
they're fun.)
