ok just to make it clear that i was praising the piece as industrial music,
which inherently sounds terrible to the ear (as opposed to a nice bit of
Mozart or what have you, which sounds pleasing and "nice" to the ear). so it
is good because it sounds terrible and this was the intention of the
composer. does that make sense?

now, my own stuff tends to sound terrible in a non-intentional way. but, as
Conan's chronicler would say, that is another story...
