wow - thank you so much for the link to the frieze
article!  the piece by simon reynolds is probably the
best thing i've ever read written on gas;  very
perceptive, thoughtful, informative, and just
well-written in general.  he completely nails, for
instance, the opening of konigsforst:

"It starts with a dilated fanfare, a canopy of sombre
sonorousness that could be the distant lowing of
massed alpine horns. It makes you feel like you’re on
a mountain path looking down on mist draping the lower
slopes. When the bass-drum pulse kicks in, it’s like
your heart starting up after being stopped with awe."

brilliant!  thanks again, mr. lockett...
