.
. Got the CD+ EP Wagon Christ "Throbbing Pouch" + "Live At Atmos" this last
. weekend. Um... weee. Ra ra... Sorry if I'm a little unimpressed.
. After hearing loads of positive adjectives lumped on this release, it
. doesn't do much for me. My first impression was 808 State without the
. exciting bits. I'll give it time, but I was disappointed when I heard
. it.

I disagree - it's superb, although more like wierd mo wax than acid jazz.
Track 2 on At Atmos for example.

. I'll be honest- I thought, if I had a sampler/sequencer, an 8 track,
. my rent for a couple of months paid off, and access to the college
. station's records (or even just my friend's collection) I could come up
. with an album that could match that, if not beat it.

I doubt it.
