mrphI was a bit surprised to see that Pihr get a review in the new Meltdown - so either they finally finished "v2" of Reborn, or Paul finally decided to bite the bullet and send out v1 to some reviewers. Whichever, Meltdown's 'I Troutindrag' seems to like them. Go Paul & Nasha!
Currently listening to Libitina's "A Closer Communion", and I'm pleasantly surprised to rediscover how good it is. That's not to say that the follow-up, "Weltanschauung", is in any way bad, just hat it's been a looong time (over five years!) since the first album, and the only tracks that stuck in my mind after I played it to death and then banished it to the bottom of the CD heap were Painted Whiter Than White and Gothic People. According to their website, they're now a quartet and they're busily working on a third album (so hopefully we won't be waiting another five years...). Yay.
Sulpher's You Ruined Everything, on the other hand, is definitely a bit better than I remember - maybe it works better through my PC's speakers. Or possibly I'm just in the right mood for Ministry/NIN-style shoutiness now, whereas I wasn't when the single first arrived - and the dire sound for their performance supporting VNV didn't exactly encourage me to revisit them.
Time for a change of pace now, anyway. I'm digging out the "Seventh Harmonic vs. Interlock" CD and settling down to that for a bit before I do the last bit of proofreading.
