Why such a low estimated rating, you ask? Do you ask? Someone asked. I'm sure I heard someone ask “Why such a low estimated rating, TH?” Well, I'm glad you asked. See, techno is one of the genres I really have no time for. To me (and this may not be the case but anyway) it's fine if you're dancing, or blitzed out of your head, or both, but for listening to, well, I'd rather spend an hour listening to my neighbour drill holes in his wall. What's he building in there? We have a right to know...

The first track confirms my fears, and all I can say about it is that it has that pounding, incessant beat that seems to be the hallmark of techno, lots of handclaps and synth lines, but nothing that appeals to me. “Catastrophe Anthem” at least has a little more of the electronic and less of the techo about it, much slower and darker, with a children's choir of some sort , but mostly no, this isn't my kind of thing at all.
