Hello again everyone, welcome to the second of "Boris's Bad Reviews". The
feedback we had from the first of these was sensational for this group,
with one poster getting in touch to tell us that Neuroticfish released
his first album a year before Assemblage 23. If you ask me, they'd both
been listening to too much Depeche Mode.

So, what do we have for you this time? The albums's called "Firewall",
which is always a good sign for us technical types, and the band's
called "Skorbut". All I can remember about them is that they're from
Slovenia, and how many of us can point to that on the map?

Hang on while I pull up a browser... well, fat lot of use that was. OK,
so they're a duo, consisting of Daniel Galda and Jorg Huttner, and their
website doesn't load. Great.

This is their third album, and it's fucking brilliant. I'd classify it
as pretty much classic electro-industrial, ala Project Pitchfork, with
a few twists. The bass is mixed high, so they throb along wonderfully,
and filter sweep the leads like a trance number, but without the rigid
structure. Very danceable. Unlike the second album, most of the lyrics
are in English. Distorted, but not soes you can't make them out.

Oh. That website just came up, and I see this got voted album of the
month. Well.

I didn't like Project Pitchfork meself. They hardly throbbed at all,
IIRC. The one album I think I actually picked up by them actually reminded
me more than anything of Jon Anderson's _Olias of Sunhillow_ (now
_there's_ an obscure reference for ya).

Hmmm. "Brilliant", "classic" and "danceable", he sez.

(Keep 'em comin'! Git-box reassurance, date and publisher also welcome.)

Maybe we have a different definition of "throbbed"? One of the things I
like about them is that they're not scared to use triplet and even do
some "industrial waltzes" in 3/4.

No, there aren't any gits. Do you object to say, a bit of acoustic in an
intro? How about bass?

I _like_ and _have_ that CD.

AAMOF, I've got from _The Yes Album_ through _Relayer_ inclusive.

I could handle the prog-rock groups very well which at the very least had
a second lead instrument along with the git, and in this case there was
two, Wakeman's keyboards and Squire's what I like to call "lead bass".

Plus everything by Plink Foyd, but that's less embarrassing to admit.

All that stuff had to be hidden away when punk arrived, although I never
joined in the regular "bash the hippies" Friday night post-club fights.

No, you shuttup.
I ran into one-- a Ukrainian, not to my knowledge a goth-- just a few
months ago posting _The Protocols of the Elders of Zion_ on us.politics.

One presumes Joly has been rolling over in his grave for more than a
century over that mouth-breathingly stupid anti-Semitic mangling of his
_Dialogues between Machiavelli and Montesquieu in Hell_ (or maybe
_Montesquieu and Machiavelli_, I never can keep the order straight).

But you can't get too mouth-breathingly stupid for Fascists, Nazis,
Islamicists (it's a big favorite among them down to the present day) and
other anti-Semites, apparently.

Joly's work is actually a fairly decent read.

The only thing the Orthodox Russian anti-Semite (probably a priest,
possibly a member of the Okhrana) who concocted the _Protocols_ from it
added that was worth anything was the extremely funny claim that the
tunnels being dug under various world cities at the time (the late 1800s)
for subways were actually going to be filled with explosives and set off
by order of the Jewish High Elders . . . .

Hm? I posts 'em as I thinks 'em, and I'm not sure four paras qualifies as
a rant, anyway.

Mohammed, however, commented that some of your other posts now make
considerably more sense from a right-pondian perspective.

With respect to RPP v. LPP, I mean.

I take it you noticed my basic politics are anti-totalitarian, regardless
of kind, plutocratic, theocratic or psychosociocratic? (I had to make
that last one up myself, since no one else did.)

I'm not sure how the RPP/LPP difference would play with regard to that.

Certain of your political-ish posts make more sense now I've skimmed us.p.
The e.g. Saudi stuff is a very different perspective on the same old shit.

I'm sure the Europeans have a word for it.

It doesn't, not for me, anyway. Am I disagreeing with you? Other than
over your terrible musical taste and your constant deluge of in-depth
emo fan gossip?

Saudi regime => Wahabbism/salafism/caliphism => jihadism
Saudi regime => House of Bush

Bad combo.

The UK saw the impact of Saudi, er, "fiscal policy" recently, too, in
Blair's quashing of a corruption investigation, right before he bailed.

I took a look myself via Google Groups and most of my posts are gone
according to it and many of the remainder said "no subject", which is
nonsense.

We really really need a New Usenet Archive Project, to rebuild the old
archive (which was originally put together by a volunteer effort), mirror
it at least once on each major continent, keep it updated with a
non-binaries feed, and make it so that you access it exactly as you would
a read-only newsserver (screw the Web interface).

I quit using Google as my Web SE in protest over what they've done with or
rather to that archive-- of course, it's hard to tell whether a given
problem is the archive itself or the interface, and I've been unable to
pull up posts there before using one perfectly valid search-expression
but was able to using a different PVSE, but you'd think _Google_ would be
interfacing alright if nothing else.

Right now, I'm using Yahoo mostly, but I'm open to suggestions on anything
better.

I've never gotten over Kurt Cobain.

Hello again everyone, welcome to the second of "Boris's Bad Reviews". The
feedback we had from the first of these was sensational for this group,
with one poster getting in touch to tell us that Neuroticfish released
his first album a year before Assemblage 23. If you ask me, they'd both
been listening to too much Depeche Mode.
So, what do we have for you this time? The albums's called "Firewall",
which is always a good sign for us technical types, and the band's
called "Skorbut". All I can remember about them is that they're from
Slovenia, and how many of us can point to that on the map?
Hang on while I pull up a browser... well, fat lot of use that was. OK,
so they're a duo, consisting of Daniel Galda and Jorg Huttner, and their
website doesn't load. Great.
This is their third album, and it's fucking brilliant. I'd classify it
as pretty much classic electro-industrial, ala Project Pitchfork, with
a few twists. The bass is mixed high, so they throb along wonderfully,
and filter sweep the leads like a trance number, but without the rigid
structure. Very danceable. Unlike the second album, most of the lyrics
are in English. Distorted, but not soes you can't make them out.
Oh. That website just came up, and I see this got voted album of the
month. Well.

Yebbut it's a different mix from the album, and not representative of it.
