I'm trying (and mostly failing so far) to work out why I like New Order for the review of their reissues I'm writing.

What are the bands you love but find hard to write about? (Or, if yr not a writer, love without being able to articulate why?).

yes there's definitely a cageian random-walk element to the words -- which they've been pretty rigorous about, come to think of it

(i think i probably actually give them points for this, unconsciously -- as part of a secret war against words in music; well, not quite that, but definitely a feeling that they're over-observed) (this would surely be part of the reason they're hard to write about? words breed more words, but wordlessness and quasi-wordlessness are a block on them??)

I really agree with all of this (apart from the fact that I've never had trouble writing about New Order XD).
