VNV Nations' new CD is his best yet, it is truly awesomely brilliant, exciting and all those types of things. It's still futurepop rather than the EBM that VNV started out as. It's a dark, brooding and yet pounding masterpiece.

Likewise, Assemblage 23's new album is also pretty good.

(Er, I've been to Resurrection Records... it's been ages since I got some CDs)

Also I picked up a Icon of Coil remix CD, which is on-average better than their (sometimes badly judged) albums.

I've also picked up (but not listened to) a Combichrist CD, and (more riskily) an Ayria CD because I liked "Horrible Dream" that I have on a compilation.

I've finished reading Prof. Richard Dawkins' The Selfish Gene (1976)... and well, it was so amazingly good that I'm going to have to write out my thoughts when calm, relaxed and objective. He is my greatest hero.

Weekend so far...

London Satanists meet was great... talked for hours to an intelligent and particularly interesting guy who I was pleased could make it at last.

Slimelight was merely OK. The hard trance set went on for much too long and the dramatic ebm stuff wasn't even touched until 4am.

Going to a party in SE London with a few friends... then shortly the final remaining housemate will leave for Christmas! This is dire news indeed: But I intend to record some vocals for some music I'm doing. This means I have to learn to sing... I'm pleased my housmates are gone :-) (for their sake...)
