CD ReviewsA return to the Beat Mr. Timothy Johnson | DICKSON, ACT Australia | 10/01/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "There is some irony that a record of 'beat' music should pay such homage and debt to the Beat generation.This is actually the original UK version of the Clear album, which seems to have recently been re-released for America as a remixed album, even though it is the American version that contains remixed tracks.Bug Powder Dust sets an import starting point for this album, beginning with the quote "And now it's time to disucss your philosophy of drug use as it pertains to artisitic endeavour". This is sampled from the movie "Naked Lunch", which is based on the novel of the same name by William S Burroughs - a seminal and defining work of the Beat generation. The Beat novelists/poets experimented with and documented their addiction to drugs, as a way of pushing societal boundaries, similar to some elements of the modern electronic music scene.This album follows the same path - tracing paths of drug addiction, particularly in tracks such as Braindead and 5ml Barrel, and songs such as Bug Powder Dust are written inthe style of the Beat writings. Lyrically, this is an excursion on addiction and its effects.Musically, this is a great electronic album and an absolute classic. I bought it solely for Bug Powder Dust, but was surprised at what a good and cohesive album it is. This is not my favourite genre of msuic, but this is a classic.Buy this one, and not the American version of 'Clear'." Totally Fab Mr. Timothy Johnson | 10/26/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "One word of advice, dont buy the US version of this record. Pay the extra money and get the real version (UK version). One of the best records ever made." A breathtaking triumph chris | Toronto | 10/18/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "...quite simply the first CD I'd grab if the house was burning down. A brilliant mix of styles and absolutely essential. Hey it's the soundtrack to my life man...!!"
