Sorry, never followed up on this.
Frankly, a lot of them sound like the biggest wankers who, somewhere along the line, forgot that music might just be fun. The one that really did it for me was this one: "Contrary to the above review, I do not find anything about this release to be similar to Aphex Twin or the Black Dog. Aphex Twin and the Black Dog were consistently groundbreaking, fresh, and intelligent. This release contains none of those qualities. Like the top review, I agree that this is none other than a slightly more innovative take on the very exhausted acid house outline and foundation set before it. Starting with the percussion, the frequent use of the 909 is cliche, untreated/expanded, very plain, and just quite unoriginal. A 4/4 kick with repeated sequences of the 909 trademark open hat and hand claps is pretty much the most of what you'll find here, percussion-wise. Moving to the synths/pads, the sounds used arent manipulated much further than the default sounds that came with the various synthesizers they used, which is the least of what a producer whos output is considered "idm" should be doing. The textures and melodies used arent evocative in the slightest bit, and they seem to lack originality as well. If you like boring ambient house check this one out, im sure you wont be dissapointed." I mean if you don't like something why spend all that time writing this shit on it?
Surprising how many amazing records you'll come across on discogs that have no reviews at all!

I only ever wrote 1 review on Discogs.
For a very underrated album by The Icons (Blame & Justice) http://www.discogs.com/Icons-Emotions-Wi...ease/75790 if you don't have it, go get ! markgabba Wrote:Surprising how many amazing records you'll come across on discogs that have no reviews at all! Much truth in this. However, I am using discogs a lot for several purposes and quite frankly, I never read any of the reviews.

I quite enjoy them actually. I've discovered a few gems here and there.

Yeah it had to be done. I was amazed that some of my favourite albums didn't have any words about them.
