Not that I wouldn't fancy good lyrics, but _musically_ I don't care about the _meaning_ of the text at all. All I care for is how the singing and speaking _sounds_ like. And I think John Hurt sounds great. (You said yourself that he's the ideal embodiment.) Similar reasoning applies to Rakim's vocals.

I also received the promo pack with the anti-static bag and the promo CD of Seduction. This was sent to me by Universal Records themselves. I was so ecstatic that I could hardly contain myself !!!! IMHO, the new CD sounds like In No Sense Nonsense with a few cups of Below the Waste and the Hollow Reed soundtrack mixed in with tight D&B rhythms. The only thing that I was disappointed about was the fact that AON was not involved in any of the drum programming. I am also still bitter about J.J. retiring from the music industry and not being on the new album. But I liked the hidden "dum-dum" samples in "Dreaming in Colour"; that was the shit !!! For those who haven't heard the new CD yet, I am truly sorry to be leaving you out of the fun and games. Metaforce is the bomb; it has definite crossover appeal. One more thing; for those who haven't seen it, there are two articles on AON in the latest issues of CMJ (the one with DJ Rap on the cover), and Billboard (the one from last week with the middle spotlight focus on the Hawaii music scene).

Another smooth sonic masterpiece by these experimental-pop masters. Intelligent music for intelligent people, eh? This ranges from classical-influenced moodpieces to technoid danceably fun stuff. THIS ALBUM IS NOT COMMERCIALLY AVAILALBYET. You want it early, you can get it here. This copy has full liner notes and front & back inserts (the back one is promo punched thru the UPC symbol. This item gets pretty hot bids on eBay. I've seen it sell for over $30, so I am setting a reasonable minimum bid to weed out rinky-dink early low bids that will just waste everyone's time. I hope someone like Zang writes him and says "Breaking street date is punishable by death.
