Yes, it's true it's very beautiful, but as you say it's a different story; it's an album from the Saga "In The Fishtank", I was actually talking about Motorpsycho :). Have you ever heard "In The Fishtank" by Tortoise? That one is terrifyingly good, they're together with "The Ex" (of which I have something but haven't listened to it yet), even better than Motor and Jaga Jazzist. I have a couple more from the Fishtank saga, but I can't even remember who's playing, so I don't think they're wonderful albums (or maybe I just haven't listened to them enough or well, it could be).

So am I too snobbish? For me, someone who does Pop can't be a genius :D, I completely agree with your last statement: it's just that I had taken "Genius" and "War Trio" in an absolute sense, when limited to Pop music, it definitely makes sense :)

You misunderstood a bit: it didn't come out after an infinite amount of collections; it is a collection itself. In '97, Motor released a nice avalanche of EPs: Baby scooter - Have Spacesuit, Will Travel - 1997 Lovelight. And at the end of '97, they combined the three works into this album. Motor is an EP band; they've made more than 15, and many albums are nothing more than "the previous EP" (which they usually print in very few copies) with a few added tracks. I think it's a commercial tactic (in the true sense of the word, not as an "insult"): they test the waters in the underground scene with the EP, and if things go well, they make an album, printing more copies. Anyway, regarding the second period of Motor (which is the best of the three), I believe this is the least impressive; the subsequent "Trust Us" and "Let Them Eat Cake" really outshine this one. However, it's better than anything they've done after 2001; Phaner and Love Cult don't say much to me, too soft. I haven't heard the last one; I heard it was very Country, and I preferred to avoid it :)

Nice, but you're overdoing it a bit: "genius" and "battle trio" seem pretty forced to me... it sounds like you're talking about Cream :)

Inside here are the same things that have been going around for years in the heavier clubs; going to the Sound Factory, to the Fridge, or listening to this is exactly the same thing... Banal Techno, I don't feel the experimentation here. Giubbo, I'm not coming to live with you because you don't know Squarepusher, and that's serious.

4/5 is an interesting judgment; I couldn’t care less about fillers and I give it a 5, also because the Hendrixian style is not easy to reproduce.

Well, the Lynyrd are (I don't know about now, but back when the album came out they definitely were) dirty, rough, racist, brawlers, offensive, misogynistic, and womanizers... what better review to tell you to fuck off? :D But yesterday I felt really sad, like really sad, even though it was for charity... they had Kid Rock sing Sweet Home Alabama. It was truly a terrible moment, although seeing them still in shape and with long hair like always made me happy.

00 Void = Technically furious, but what a pain in the ass, really what a pain in the ass. Just like all the Sunn's albums on their own (just the two of them) without anyone else playing other instruments, their two guitars after a while (very little) are just annoying as hell. Just in Flight of the Behemoth, even though there are two of them at an unspecified point (in my memory) in the album, a somewhat cheerful keyboard comes in... and it seems like something significant has started, since after 20 minutes of low frequencies even a fart sounds like a whole orchestra. The Sunn in "just the two of them" mode are liked only by Moon, thanks to his Metal soul that occasionally surfaces.

To me, it seems mostly made up of rather simplistic techno pieces, with a couple of experimental bits thrown in. In the end, the only departure from the usual patterns is K.Keith's feature. Tracks like Firestarter, Mindfields, and Breath are laughably monotonous; the theme doesn't change even if you shoot up, and the sounds (especially in Mindfields) are really weak. It's a '97 album; if it had come out in '89, I would have understood, but by '97, these things had already moved on. It sold for that exact reason: it's easy, catchy, radio-friendly... but it's pretty heavy (ugh) in terms of beats, so it fit well for that period when "rave" was really cool. :)

One to zero for you. :D
