Think i'll be giving Absolute 2 a miss after reading them( alarm bells were already ringing after reading between the lines of the odd equivocal review though ).
As for Guapo, on record, despite, or perhaps, due to the fact that they're so technically competent there are times where i've found them a bit emotionally cold. As a live act though, i've no such reservations, they've been jaw droppingly great the couple of times i've been lucky enough to see them.
I've never got away with Guapo, as you say a bit clinical, but I've loved pretty much every offshoot, particuarly Miasma & The Carousel of Headless Horses and The Stargazers Assistant, the Grumbling Fur CD that was recently released is rather tasty as well. Got Rated O cheap S/H, liked the 3rd disc a lot, not so keen on the other 2, picked up a live download from Primvera[sic?] that is rather good
As for other listening this week I is mostly listening to Boris & Iron Maiden
