wow! that is one of the most awesome descriptions ever!!lolmh wrote:This sums it up correctly. It's not terrible as in "OH MY GOD I DON'T BELIEVE VON DID THAT!" or anything like that. Don't be expecting another Gift, and definitely don't be expecting anything that the consensus at the time would have said was terrible but hindsight grants more credit to. It's just quite nondescript in a moderately not-even-annoying elevator music kind of way. Ambient without any sense of ambience, techno without a beat, like something Sting would have recorded if Dire Straits had told him what Nickleback thought a Foreigner cover version of a Sisters song sounded like.

It's just so incredibly dull and boring. It's not even spectacularly bad, it's just very, very bad.

i know its been said once or twice before, but it still surprises me that more people havent heard the similarities between several of the SSV tracks and "still walking" by throbbing gristle, from this album:
listen to 'still walking' on youtube:

listen to 'still walking' on spotify:

30 second preview on last.fm:
http://www.last.fm/music/Throbbing+Gris ... ll+Walking
(although the last.fm preview doesn't let you hear the spoken word stuff over the *cough* music)
listening to the whole TG album you can see where von got the idea for the SSV vocals from. there's similar amounts of experimentation throughout he whole album. although obviously TG did it waaaaaay before our andrew was even contemplating calling himself 'von'

for TG that was quite good but it wasn't funky or jazzy, where do I apply for a refund?

this is obviously some version of 'excellent' I'm unaware of

"Effluent" must have been mis-spell checked.

I'm interested to see what the picture disc actually looks like. I've never seen a printed version of this "album".
