Manic Mechanic is more like King Crimson than you would otherwise want your ZZ to be.

Wait a minute . . . . . . . . . . . are you implying that having a little King Crimson in the mix is a BAD thing?!?!?
I got a Fairlight, you got a Fairling, everybody got a Fairlight . . .
(I watched a very good documentary about Wax Trax Records this weekend, and Uncle Al noted that the whole early RevCo/Ministry sound was due to the fact that they could program an eight bar figure, but they never figured out how to then change to another eight bar figure, so they just looped what they had and called it a song).
**GLANKY FAIRLIGHT HORN SOUND** (even though synths do not do that anymore)
