@ reverendbumlove: Yes, right. Sometimes I am amazed about comments like yours. Why don't you leave us alone and move on? If Eleh is nothing for you, then just ignore it and listen to ... ah, whatever. It's a waste of your time telling other artists that their music is crap - and telling other people what they shouldn't listen to. Get a life.

Eleh has just released and EXTORTIONATE 3-CD set that has apparently been 'specifically engineered for the CD format'. Sounds like a cynical attempt to cash in on the vast majority of potential listeners who don't own a record player and cannot access his overwhelmingly vinyl-based discography. Don't get me wrong, I like the concept behind his music, I just think he's a bit of a huckster. He's cornered a market for music that is actually incredibly simple to make - you don't even need two chords, you can knock up something Eleh-like in about 15 minutes on Fruityloops just by layering up a few 3osc channels. Piece of piss. Try it, and you too will be able to crank out endless esoteric tones that'll have the Wire office wanking into their buddha machines.

Great stuff. But mostly, I'm posting in the shoutbox to bury that inane vinyl evangelism further.

Pauline if you are reading this, I left the front door key at Tony's house. Also he asked you to glue and expand the estrus and electrified [group]'pataphysics[/group] group.

Has anyone ever stopped to consider that this bloke bigs up the essentiality of the vinyl format in order to sell records? This is exactly how Phill Niblock has been getting suckers to come to his live microtonal wank-offs all these years - Newsflash: Phill's just as pointless live as on CD. Anyway... Eleh sounds OK on mp3, who sits and analyses the subtle interplay of a bunch of fucking sine waves anyway? Nerds, that's who. People who tell you they can spot the difference are elitist mugs who've been ripped off by stereo manufacturers for years on the promise of 'extra dimensions of sound', when the truth is a Marantz is just rewarding. There comes a point where your ears really are too shit to benefit from the extra expense.

for that matter a good quality mp3 is pretty much indistinguishable from the source to all but the most superhuman ears. try doing an abx test before you make silly claims.
