After the recent discussion of 90s HW, I threw _A4_ in the stereo to
give it a critical spin. I think I've said this before, but I think while
it's highs are as high as those of _ET_ *overall* it's at least as good if
not better. On _ET_ I tend to skip from rock track to rock track, but
mostly I don't mind the in between bits on _A4_.
Well ... "Beam Me Up" still sounds silly, and musically like about
half-a-dozen song fragments mushed together. But the rest isn't that bad.
"Sputnik Stan" is *damn* good. Losing Bass Assassin #2: bad!
"LSD" and "Mask of Morning" still blow me away every time :)
Cheers,
Carl
ps - "LSD" is, of course, another Davey track ...
pps - well, there's still the new Monster Magnet coming out soon, and I
thought the Spiritual Beggar's "Lack of Prozac" had a HWish vibe. Plus,
presumably, new darXtar sometime???
