from the Soleilmoon catalog listing from this week:

05339 GRIDLOCK Formless CD 12.99
Had enough of the glitch, the clicks & cuts, and laptop jockeying? tired of soulless albums masking nonexistent musicality with technical feats of indignant genius? bored with bedroom artists incapable of delivering a single compelling track? formless, gridlock's fourth album and first full-length for hymen, is as far away from the acrid, slight world of plug-ins and software music as you could possibly get, which is rather ironic considering that gridlock's mike wells and mike cadoo live in the would-be epicenter of laptop music, san francisco. full of lush melodies and luscious analog warmth, formless shuns the pretense of flaccid software acrobatics, instead summoning from the depths of human emotion a musical epic that touches upon the gravest recesses of memory. nothing short of a colossal musical achievement, formless extends gridlock beyond the ordinary genrefication of their san francisco peers into the sonic sublime.

why are the goth kids in constant battle of neo-romantic v. post-industrial, why can't they just get their webby and sci-fi clothese together into one little outfit?
