Title: Lost All Its Heat
Review: Charles Bullen, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist of the great post-Faust band This Heat, emerged from hiding in 1998 with this oddly un-Heat-like effort. In ways it resembles Bullen's and Williams' 1985 cassette "Flaming Tunes" (the "gentler side of This Heat") although it is less adventurous and less colorful. One would never connect this music to Heat without the liner notes, sounding like any given random synthesist with a beatbox and some flangers.If internal Heat comes from radioactivity, the "Internal Clock" of this one indicates decay to a mere leaden state -- the term "deservedly obscure" comes to mind.
