Got my copy straight from Philip & Sarah but seems like they already sold out their copies. In some parts there's some awkwardness but overall quite solid album in my opinion. Loving Philip's vocals!

Cool! Maybe you could grab me one if your not too busy.

New direction for CE: Thoughts?

I guess i won't be buying that new record. Show in Belgium last month was pretty weak..

[Dr Alex]

Consumer Electronics goes Cut Hands... This is sad. I still like Philip's vocals but music and Sarah's vocals are fucking crap!

[MT]

We can only hope non of the new album tracks are nothing like that abomination. Good fucking grief.

ha I know cameraphone is no way to judge (I was at the Merzbow / Tim Hecker show elsewhere in town) but why are noise/pe 'beats' never even extreme or experimental as most mainstream dance beats let alone like 90% of underground hard dance music :D

[Leewar]

I like it, atleast its not the usual and its obviously provoking a response.

[Cementimental]

indeed, there is that. I bet I've have enjoyed it if I was there anyway.

[martialgodmask]

There is something strangely "anti" about that. I'm not sure what, but I'm intrigued as to where it goes from there.

Techno is the nursing home of old school Industrialists.

[MT]

It is trying to be provoking, that's all. It is just upset people that someone like Philip Best could do so much more than just stock bass beats. Going where the rim is lowest. But then again who am I to judge his decisions, just saying my personal opinion. The stuff Bennet does nowdays is downright horrible, a true downfall of his musical self.

I like it, atleast its not the usual and its obviously provoking a response.

But it is the usual, isn't it?  I can't think of anything more common in the canon of once great industrial artists than to eventually turn into ultra boring, insipid dance music with shit vocals.  It provokes a response because it is awful and it doesn't make anyone who says so some kind of purist sheep.
