Once upon a time, the lyrics and rhymes were the most important thing of all, given that the sparse and similar beats from ten years ago didn’t really allow for much choice. From '97-'98 onwards, with all the new material, I started to appreciate the beats as well, but I still believe that lyrics and rhymes are always the most important thing overall. I can’t tell you what the newspapers think now because I haven’t read them in ten years, but I believe they write more or less the same things.

Yes, if you didn't enjoy Noise & Violence by Ansence, you'll definitely like this one much more. Grab the pusher (and don’t forget to ask for the extra, my grandmother used to say).

Much less violent than Absence, but what it loses in violence it gains in the expansion of sounds, so it's a bit difficult to determine which is tougher between the two; it depends on what you're more accustomed to. For example, I digested Absence more easily; I believe it's more direct. Although, as it was said about Lukin, it's much more a Faust album than a Dalek one; comparisons with Absence are "legitimate" but also not.

I would like them a lot more, he’s a handbrake that can be good or less so, depending on the point of view. You're right, but I insist on letting go of all the connections to old patterns. One of these days I’ll set myself free to discover the Beats that Oktopus made for someone else to see how the result turns out. Do you remember any? Honestly, besides the Dalek, I don’t think I have any Oktopus stuff, but you can never know in a field where every album has 9 producers and 15 MCs.

You should really like the sounds, but the mood is dark and quite ambient-kraut. Few little noises, a lot of low-frequency rumblings. You wouldn't hate it, but you wouldn't go crazy for it either; maybe one day I'll send you the first Faust albums, those should appeal to you much more.

Beautiful the Klangbad site, Airone. There’s also the first of the Dalek on double vinyl, I don’t think it’s available on Ipecac either. For Faust, there’s a ton of special stuff; I’ll mark it in my favorites.

People who I think would fit better than Dalek over the beats of Oktopus would be: Black Thought from the Roots, El-P + Cannibal Ox (I would definitely enjoy these first ones a lot), MF Doom, Mos Def, DoseOne, Alias, or even Fredro from Onyx. It’s not that he’s bad, but the beats of Oktopus are the "most forward" (maybe not the best, but definitely the most forward) while Dalek isn't quite as forward. He’s good, but not as progressive. The gap is noticeable and it's a bit of a shame. That said, I believe Absence by Dalek deserves to be included in the top 10 rap masterpieces of all time for innovation (in this field, it’s only behind Funcrusher Plus by Company Flow), it’s out of this world.

The service offered by cdbox seems to be one of the closest to usury; you pay a lot, and the more you pay, the longer you wait. Instead of Siae stamps, there are those of Cosa Nostra.

Here, you're almost there now. I was emphasizing the fact that, even though you were expanding the conversation, it doesn't mean that Morpheo and I were talking nonsense. Are you getting it now? Shall we make a histogram? It's not necessary to specify every little point of the discussion every single time; when talking about Rock N Roll, you don't have to start with Chuck Berry and include every possible and imaginable branching, otherwise we’ll never finish (are you with me? should I continue?). The important thing is to understand each other. With Morpheo (who also wrote it to you above), we understood each other and were only talking about Drone-Doom (and by the way, don’t worry, if you ask Circle or a post-rock band like Exhaust "what do you play?" they certainly won't answer "Drone," even though there are indeed similarities). A flexible mind adapts to specific discussions; if you have any issues with cerebral elastin, it’s not our fault. Video call us next time.

But without reflectors, which are too bright and would make it look less like a Drone. A Drone-Rail. Happy?
