Funny, I have the same opinion about Nine Inch Nails. All I hear is noise.
Meanwhile, Blade Runner has inspired some wonderfully dark moods. I came up
with the plotline of my sickest scenario while listening to Blade Runner. I
also like Kitaro and David Arkenstone, so I guess you just have to have the
taste for it. FYI, I also like SOM, cranked up REALLY LOUD, and bought the
Crow CD for the title track by the Cure.
