Hi
no doubt the forum is keen to hear more on this:

or indeed preceded by it, i suppose. this seems to me to be a very
reductionist argument in itself. perhaps i am wrong (again). probably
not though.
can we reasonably argue that any argument other than that which would
be accepted as the norm in contemporary cultural geography is
reductionist ? hmmm... I think that independently of whatever it is
that we do in our 'professional' lives, we operate with at least a
certain amount of reductionist logic in our everyday lives. we,
literally, haven't the time to consider everything in the depth we
might like and so, have to get on with living. i know i am an
everyday reductionist but not in my work; no please...

how true. i, being a reasonable man, would, of course, agree with
this point. i still say i could write something lazy and lame about
swimming (some say i already have). ah well
i think the thing to wonder here is exactly what is it that Front 242
are performing and what meaning and significance they take it to
hold. i, for one, will embrace that difficulty and hardness.
kind regards
