wajid yaseen, 2nd Gen... all apologies to alec (i love intelligence and sacrifice), has to be creating the most insane music on the planet. if you don't believe me hunt down and buy Irony Is. he also has another album coming out called Noise Sculptures. It is pure electronic destruction at its best. this should best describe his sound if you haven't heard it:

A mad collection of hip-hop beats, thumping bass, white noise and vocals which, in places, sound like they come courtesy of a junkie, hit the senses like a good curry - there is no messing about here, this guy is straight to what he wants to do. "It's a hybrid of sounds and sources, not purely done on computers, not purely done on conventional instruments," says Wajid. "It's a lot of regenerated sound, twisting it back around so it almost collapses within itself."

I ask you ladies and gentlemen, have you heard of this man? i feel as if i'm the only one who had bought this guys album and man its lonelier than watching the last car pull out of a parking lot in the middle of the night. have any of you listened to this album? thoughts anyone?

Oh yeah. 2nd Gen fucking rules. He's ace live, as well, especially when he's got James Johnston out of Gallon Drunk guesting.

Met him once- a lovely geezer, as well.

Another guy to check out if y're so inclined, who often plays on the same bill as 2nd Gen is Zan Lyons. Think John Carpenter movie music in a digital hardcore stylee. Then think bloke jumping all over the place. Then think "YES!!!"
