@Matt

Sorry, I didn't get it yet. So much to do, so little time. I forgot what Manchester city centre actually looks like it's been so long since I went there.

I'll get hold of it soon and when I do I'll let you know.

Mdma tells me it's reet good as well :-)

@bloodline

I'm playing the angel right now...

Have to say I'm incredibly dissapointed. After the anticipation it just fails to deliver on the expectations.

It's like exciter all over again.....

Damn, he saw right through my baiting attempt :-x

It's actually very good :-D

Haven't really got a favourite track yet, after I've listened to it a few times I'll get back to you...

I'm quite taken by the really simplistic structure of "I want it all". The really minimalistic beat and slow major/minor chordal changes are quite hypnotic. At the same time, there is just enough instrumental detune and antiharmony in places to stop it becoming completely 'background'.

I find "suffer well" quite comedic. Am I a bad person?

Well I've played the album pretty much exhaustively at work today.

I think it's safe to say my colleagues aren't as into DM as they should be ;-)

Well, they might have heard you too if they weren't playing the music so loud. Really mate, you need to leave the sock at home :-D

Exactly how I felt about 'exciter'. I still think it's their weakest album but, years after getting it I find I enjoy it a lot more now than I did at the start.

How many DM fans are there on amiga.org anyway?

Bloodline counts as 2...

I think most DM fans prefer SOFAD. For me, I suppose violator would be second place.

I generally don't consider the competition for bronze position, but... yeah, I suppose. Maybe...

And then Black Celebration for third...


I'm having a deja vu here. I am sure we had that exact same sequence of post and reply before :-D
