I have to disagree, "Receive The Flame" is one of NON's best albums. I prefer it a lot over the boring and childish "Might", which had an interesting concept developed in the formula of "sleepy spoken words + one boring sample repeated". Here we have powerful and fierce tracks of pure noise which works amazingly. "Spectre" combines a Spanish-like string with the increasing noise of an engine, and the effect is simply devastating! "Solitude" is a very funny and ironic piano theme, which surely come from some 1960s' bubblegum music single (Boyd's favourite sources). I love the distorted voices of "Monism" and the deafing organ blasts of "Medici Mass". Boyd Rice is still THE noise master. He should just concentrate more on his own work rather than losing time with Douglas P.'s latest creations.
