Joy Division et al definitely knew how to sound deeeepressed and out of it, but for that mind-crushed-to-dust-by-reality sound you can't beat "The Overload" on the Talking Head's "Remain in Light". It's even beyond Brian Eno. The amazing thing is that it's somewhat listenable for something so oppressive. It's one thing to slam the listener against to wall with distortion or whining, but to turn the aural field to quivering liquifacting heat, that's art. Jim McCrae - {hplabs,decvax}|sytek|jtm
