I suspect Paul Kingsnorth isn’t a metal fan but he has an ally in the late Ronnie James Dio.
“Computer God” opens up the vastly underrated Dehumanizer with a bang. Dio saw what was coming, back in 1992, when he penned these prophetic lyrics:
Computerized God, it's the new religion
Program the brain, not the heartbeat
Onward, all you crystal soldiers
Touch tomorrow energize
Digital dreams and you're the next correction
Man's a mistake, so we'll fix it, yeah
My inconsequential machine rebellion has begun. I picked up this rig on Tuesday. A Yamaha RX-595 receiver with a pair of Boston Acoustics speakers and a DVD/CD measure for good measure. The price was right (zero). It sounds fantastic. I can now play my old CDs again. Remember what it was like to hear an entire album without commercials, comments, and digital distraction?

No internet, no algorithms, no copyright strikes, just metal. Dio would have approved.
Virtual existence with a superhuman mind
The ultimate creation, destroyer of mankind

The CD appears to be Black Sabbath's Technical Ecstasy

Despite login issues you got the album right!
The irony of “forgot to sign into Google” for replying to this post is not lost on me.
FWIW I spent much of last night perusing an old CD collection of mine while my son riffed on his electric guitar (to metal of last 20y but still). Nevermind the fact I had to pull the various songs up on my phone to play select ones for him.
Hey Brian - most dvd players will play CDs so you can listen to “albums” that way too thru your TV.
