I don't like it much. I may want to try another, but I don't know which one. Some folks told me that his guitar playing is reminiscent of Roxy Music -- that sound good. I have also seen an ep of his that included Mick Karn on bass -- a good sign. Can anyone tell me what this ep is called, and which cd it would be on. Or, can somebody recommand another cd and describe it a bit. My description of Iconography would be, "lots of sampled speech over a repetative beat." Maybe this was unique at the time the album came out, but it does not seem to hold up.
