I've found that with drummers who drum (as opposed to the likes of Collins, for instance, who's almost known more as a singer) I tend to find it hard to buy into their musical vision, if you like. I could probably take a drummer working solo but with others in his/her band, but when it's all based around percussion, and in this case, abrasive and intrusive percussion, it's not for me. Probably just me, but as you know, I have already admitted I couldn't tell a good drummer from a bad one, so to have one front and centre is not something I enjoy.

To be fair, given the other abrasive music I've heard - Fantomas, Naked City, Zorn, Beefheart, Merzbow - this was less harsh than usual and I could definitely hear musical ideas, but you know what I'm like with music that jumps around and doesn't really settle down. Not a fan.

Not generally. It isn't German and it wasn't produced between 1969 and 1973.
