- The good news: this is some really hard stuff

- Imagine Poing (Tune Request) without the poings. Now, imagine that
- you're playing it through a stack of guitar amps. Now, imagine that
- the lead singer for Einstuerzende Neubauten is there, singing, and
- he's pissed.
-
- Now, I like good, hard techno as much as anyone. However, I wasn't so
- thrilled with this song. The beats are too noisy, too fast, there's
- too much screaming, too much everything. I'd be more comfortable
- slamming to this than dancing, I think. The song's not bad per se,
- but it's just not my cup of tea. Buy at your own risk.

- I find it innocuous but not unpleasant. Jay likes it well enough.
- I don't like the uninspired piano, but there is one mix (the Deep
- Techno mix) which *doesn't* have the piano, and *does* have weird
- crunchy synths in it. Jay can't put his finger on why he likes
- it, but he finds himself tapping his feet when he hears it. I must
- admit that some of the mixes have some good beats in there.

- We find this single a little monotonous. Can't put our fingers on
- why. Dildo was repetitive, but it was good. Elelvator should be, by
- any objective measure, less monotonous. More breaks, more synth
- hooks. However, we don't like it. Too boring. Weird, huh?
-
- The flip side contains two tracks, Dildomania, and Future Dreams.
- Dildomania is a live version of Dildo which, surprisingly enough, is
- very cool. It has a very different feel than the 12". Lots of
- interesting sounds, samples...
-
- Future Dreams is ambient-ish and not too bad, although it reminds me
- of a certain section of the Miami Vice theme song.
