like the glossily overproduced Technique, in my opinion. "ER" is very lo-fi,really one of the loest-fi B&S have ever done.

I love Technique, I think it's their best album. The production does sound very sonically (is this even a word?) clean. But it differs from other New Order albums in the dichotomy of the all synth vs. all guitar songs, versus previous albums which usually melded the two. Of course the World Cup anthem was the beginning of the downfall, it's either that or because they eased up on E or whatever else they were doing. We are so lucky to be able to enjoy B&S while they are unfolding. Unfortunately, I was either too young or unaware of other wonderful bands (Smiths, Lilac Time, etc.) as they progressed. Is Atari Teenage Riot worth seeing live? - Sammy _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
