It won’t be a copy of anything, but the first truly dirty piece, not to mention. When it comes to filth, I believe Blue Cheer were a few dumpsters ahead, which doesn’t mean they were better, just dirtier, and before them. I’m reminded of Kick Out The Jams by the MC5, from the year prior (I know the record came out in ’69, but the live dates are from ’68). Helter Shelter is a nice rock song, nothing more than a nice song, it wasn’t the first in anything. This remains a cornerstone nonetheless, it’s just that saying the Beatles got there first even in dirt seems like a galactic exaggeration: they did a lot, not everything.

Ah ah ah... nonsense: have you ever seen the cover? I have both the first and the second CD. Yes, there is a version of both compressed, but I don't have it. Have you ever seen the cover of the second one? At my place, it’s black, at the top it says "FAUST SO FAR" and below it says Faust. So at my place, one is the name of the album, and the other is the name of the band. No commercialized version, I have the prints from the early '90s with a black spine. Look here, you fool, check it out and die -> Ingrandisci questa immagine <- What were we saying? It starts with It's A Rainy Day, and Mamie is the 5th track. What did you say? Which version? Huh? - PS: I was criticizing the name of the band, not the album... but what were you saying? Which version? What?

This industrial record has nothing of industrial, because to be industrial, the sound (sound, not rhythm, just sound) must at least be a little "violent"; they don’t use particular distortions that refer to industrial. Maybe they use a song form that hints at it, but as a sound, we’re really not there. This is a poorly executed attempt to push the ethnic-classical-electronic mixes of Czukay and other electronic artists of the time a bit further, and it fails because there’s no cohesion between the pieces. There’s no mental structure; you can tell they were trying to throw in things more or less haphazardly, and the inserted sounds are all for their own sake, nothing ever aligns. There are many better things from those years; this survived only because two of its members went on to become Kraftwerk; otherwise, it would have been buried in the sands of time a long time ago. The first experiment of TRUE industrial sounds, in my opinion, are Faust (with Neu! being a lesser part), who did other things beyond industrial, but they have pieces that deliver solid blows to the back compared to tracks from 20 years later, see "Mamie Is Blue" from "Faust So Far", that track is as forward as it gets, whereas this is a poorly executed experiment, really poorly. Damn, no one who is a kraut critic or a listener of the genre has ever said it’s good.

The considerations on the Loop are a matter of personal taste for me. I can’t stand Battisti either, but that doesn’t mean he’s an idiot; it just means I can’t stand him to the umpteenth degree for personal reasons, just like I can’t stand Battiato, or I get really irritated by Guccini. Just like the total and celestial classical melody makes me want to vomit to the max—too much melody for my taste and way too little vibe—it weighs down my nuts by hundreds of tons, but that doesn’t mean it’s crap; it just doesn’t appeal to me. Just like the Ramones, whom I respect because they were the first to think of a direct and essential approach to music, I still can’t stand them because I don’t like that direct approach, but I respect them (the ones that came after, obviously not, they’re just crap). The same goes for Kraftwerk; I feel bad about the excess of Loop, with songs that are too long based on the variations—if they were half as long they’d be better. But that doesn’t mean it’s crap, it just doesn’t align with my taste like Neu! does.

But I've also told you that I keep saying it's beautiful, I haven't changed my mind, it’s beautiful. Even Trent Reznor is getting on my nerves now, and I heard With Teeth in passing at the store, I’m not buying anything from him anymore, but I still have the original discography, it's beautiful. He's an asshole, he gets on my nerves, but the beautiful records remain beautiful. You insist on the point, but I haven't changed my mind about the music, only about the sympathy. A hot girl, if you get to know her and she's a bitch, you say "she may be hot, but she's a bitch," but she still remains hot. Anyway, in 120 posts, you still haven't explained your point. This crap deserves a 4 when it's just a rough draft of the stuff that was going around in mass at that time in that same city?

So what you said earlier means nothing to me, since for me this is the case too. Your words backfire on you; where I come from, we call it... getting tangled up. And why does one get tangled up? Because they are wrong.

Ah! So you've changed your mind! First you give him a 5 and then you write << Schulze was born with the sound of the flush and will die with the sound of the flush, period. >> and now you throw back in the mix a nice << Do you realize?

Jacob, I just explained the reason for the teasing; I neither defended nor glorified anyone, nor did I say that someone is better than another: I just teased poor Rivulsconi, afflicted by the plague of plagiarizers. I am not objective at all; I am fully biased in favor of free teasing towards anyone I consider a complete idiot, and I must say that Rivulsconi has all the credentials to win the title this year. I never said anyone is skilled; I just said that Rivulsconi seems like a big clown to me. And then, according to you, what the hell do I know about what people do in private? Do you think I have a crystal ball that tells me what users do privately? Sure, I have a webcam aimed at Moonchild's gay bar, and I enjoy all his Lap-Dance performances every Wednesday at 11:30 PM with a plate of spaghetti with mussels, a liter of beer, and free burps, but other than that, I can't know what the hell people say in private. Besides the tiny detail, just a tiny one, eh... that I couldn't care less about. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but among my idols, there are only porn stars and drug dealers, no users from this site. And don’t take it the wrong way, Francis, for what I’ve written here; he’s obviously also in the running for the award since he holds the 2004 title.
