It’s worth a lot, but only for what it left unresolved after "Pre Millenium Tension," and that wouldn’t be little... but it's been about ten years... too bad about the intro, because "Third" is, and remains, an album with "balls" (it even annihilates the title track!)... and this is certainly not up to par! (3.5).

Eh, in fact I started with Throbbing Gristle! My report referred precisely to the fact that you brought up "musica Concreta" only in relation to Einstürzende, who were among the first to use "sound bodies" on stage, but the sampling of "drones" related to the concept of compositions of various "sound bodies" was indeed already attributable to Throbbing (who, not coincidentally, in their early days proposed "musical" comments for artistic installations)...
Finally, regarding the "social" matrix of it all, I did not use the expression "(music) married to other expressive purposes... more demoscopically categorisable" by chance...
That's all.

It’s obvious that in such reviews (rather exegetical, let’s say) the perspectives that open up to the "polemos" are multiple... but, far from me to be a Solon (out of place)... just one epistemological doubt regarding the specific approach you have set for the Einsturzende... it’s very maximalist... that is: without the "aula" and functional meaning of "musica Concreta," "Industrial" IN TOTO would have no reason to exist, as its derivative (though aligned with other expressive purposes... more demoscopic)... indeed the Germans are among the first, in the "popular" realm, to insist on its specificity in the performative act!

They are also hilarious (the Port-Royal)... they seem extremely grandiloquent, but they joke about it a lot... go ahead and type into "Google" the search term: "il bestemmiatore veneto"... and try to "Anglicize" the most recurring proper name you’ll come up with... then scroll through the tracklist of "Afraid to Dance"... something should come to mind ; )

Fuck! As a fresh 29-year-old, you shouldn't have made me feel so nostalgic! Fucking EMO (and if I say that back then emotive-core made way more sense, I’ll just look even more like an old-timer and anachronistic!)... But "jaws" really were synonymous with quality on the East Coast, whether they served as a prefix or a suffix!

Damn, the Dull is worse than Azazel... shapeshifter and deceiver, Tetsuo "the iron man" wasn't enough for him... now he even throws in a fake named Panapp... are you also dabbling in minimal-japa?! Shall we do a review of Tetsu Inoue?!

I have 8 versions of "Idumæa"... have I got a fake C.D.?... (Come on, lumping everything together... um, a seven... is too easy!) However, autonomous Tibet and its gnostic mysticism resonate with me a bit... and also the Mormons (read "Low"!). Now I'm going to listen to something by Dominick Fernow, which lifts me up much more (anything but the messianic ramblings of David)!

No, come on, "Tiny Tiny" took it off the shopping list.

Alright! You're here... all good (even if, perhaps, all those references, for such minimal "soundscapes," might mislead those who have never listened to it). I still have to decide if "Bitter Sweet" lives up to this and "Hum" (the first album of hers I listened to, and I might be a bit biased about it).

"Acid? Rough? = Rusty guitars and screeches?"... where, here??! It’s really with "Melody..." that they started to move away from certain sounds and a "noise/post-nowave" approach (and "Mother," placed almost at the end, seems to be a sort of liberating declaration of intent)... the rest is all good!... Hey Dull, you who love Japan and the Japanese so much, why don’t you review something from Sawako?!
