It seemed completely pointless for him to appear with Slater, as his vox were perfectly suited to the edgy and hazy vibe that were synonymous with Aloof. I can't see that the joining of forces was done for any other reason than commercial success (nothing wrong with that in itself), but when the music is severely lacking you have to ask "was it worth it." IMHO, the last decent stuff that he did was "Freak Funk" but even that was lacking in parts, or rather, pointing towards his new "direction." I think the big hang up with Luke S is that he used to be so damned fcking good, and in comparison, his output now is just weak.
Remember Morganistic? P.A.S.? 11th Plain?? I'm sorry, but Electroclash does not cut it when you have a recording history such as that. IMO, of course. ;0) -----Original Message----- From: Cobert, Gwendal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 January 2004 4:19 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: (313) I'll see you Luke Slater mate! I don't agree... Wireless was very good IMHO, with "All exhale" being an absolutely amazing "electroclash" (or whatever) single. "Alright on top" wasn't absolutely excellent, but I love the singer's voice (used to be the singer with The Aloof, a perfect example of underrated act...), so I found this album very enjoyable... Haven't checked the new stuff yet though, and I agree these latest records find him straying far from his Detroit-inspired sound of the Pacefrog years...
