Finally checked out "Modulations". About 90% dance music, as expected, but well worth while for anyone interested in electronic music. Where else will you get Stockhausen, Pierre Henry, John Cage, Squarepusher, and Marcus Popp in a film? Remarks by my painter friend Alex Ross: Booth or Brown picks his nose. Detroit rules planet Earth. Future Sound of London are pretentious snobs. Ditto Genisis P. O. (Wendy Carlos?) Tom Jenkinson is SEXY AS HELL. Richard James and Richie Hawtin mysteriously absent. THAT'S Oval?!?! Ravers are the best thing that's landed here since the Flappers. Alec Empire wants attention. For the love of Cage, German hardcore is laughable. Break dancing footage is wonderful beyond anything. DJ's and Turntablists kick everyone's butt. Part 2: computer animation and beats, no talking! Gabba good. Was the word Goa mentioned at all? Donna Summers sounded SO good. Q-Bert funtime! Is Irmin Schmidt cool or what? Still wearin' those shades... Czukay is the clowner's clown. Those English music writers have gorgeous mouths and teeth. I don't hate Bill Lasswell so much any more. Bob Moog is Albert Hofmann. Miles Davis has a HUGE shadow. No focus on the graphic arts revolution? Not ONE smiling alien? Overall rating: 4 houses
