I swear I've read it all. "Asect:Dsect" and "Cautella" are the only albums I've listened to, and they were enough to change my view of "serious electronic" and make me reevaluate even masters like Aphex Twin. If the latter is the Beatles of IDM, Devine is undoubtedly the Red Krayola.

In another review of yours, I already expressed words of praise for the three of them. This one, along with the one with Voice Crack and "Industrial Strength," can be considered the best. Also noteworthy is the one with Thurston Moore, the first one I listened to and that I still quite enjoy.

I agree with you, Omaha. But more than me, you should have told Cobain, who "coined" the term to define Calvin's followers in Olympia.

Spiritualized Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

The best of Spiritualized, with the first one. After so much craft and little substance. Definitely better is Sonic Boom's solo career, even if it has never been fully focused in an album (like in this case, for example).

Vote and long live the Calvinists. More cakes and seven inches for everyone!

She said everything was cool. On top of that, I think we can just add the words of Kim Gordon, back in the days of the first Free Kitten, regarding the explosion of the Riot Grrrl movement (in which Free Kitten ended up, indeed): "It's all very nice, but I've been doing this for ten years." And it wasn’t even a shitshow, I’ll add!

I remember "Busse Woods" beautifully fiery.

Grandissimo the Borbetomagus, for me one of the best improv/Noise collectives I’ve ever had the chance to listen to. I discovered them through the album with Thurston Moore, and from there it’s just a matter of going backward (the self-titled, the one with Voice Crack, “Industrial Strength” and “Barbed Wire Maggots”). I’ve always been totally into this little story (entirely personal) that Supersilent are their "current" version, shifting the boundaries a bit more towards the "metaphysical" plane.

For me, the Pop taste is one of the total keys to understanding Mark E. Smith's style, both in terms of the lyrical aspect and the "metric" one. Excluding the more extreme episodes, like "Spectre vs Rector," "A Figure Walks," or "Muzerowi's Daughter," I hear a lot of melody ("Your Heart's Out," the first that comes to mind). Of course, it's not "Grotesque," but the leap isn't that far either.
