Josh Wink ‎– Herehear CD

The negativity of many reviews was unfortunate, given that Herehear is a sonic leap forward for Wink. The tracks, which touch upon drum-and-bass, industrial and trance, are more song-based than before, and vocal contributions by Philly poet Ursula Rucker and This Mortal Coil’s Caroline Crowley are fascinating. But the weaknesses inherent in “Black Bomb (Jerry in the Bag),” sung by Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, led to more than a few slaggings, especially in England. “The journalists over there suck,” Wink says with out-of-character intensity. “They’re all just wannabe artists and DJs who can’t get a gig. They don’t like people like Trent Reznor, so they say the album sucks because he’s on it. It’s a no-win situation with those guys.”
