the hacks have been comparing it to some of the shoegazing bands such as slowdive. surprise surprise; lazy journalism.

Engineer turns up rap, hip-hop beats to lure students ​

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- There's gangsta rap. And now, there's geeksta rap.

It's all because of Rajeev Bajaj, a 39-year-old chemical engineer from Fremont, Calif., who is either going to become the def jammer of the science and technology domain or the poster boy for excruciatingly embarrassing nerdiness.

Bajaj recently spent $15,000 of his own money forming an independent record label and hiring musicians to perform four rap and hip-hop songs he wrote in praise of the engineering profession. He hopes his debut album, "Geek Rhythms," will convince America that engineers indeed are cool.

Success is not to be measured by recouping his costs, Bajaj said, nor by selling out the 1,000 CDs he produced. Bajaj is more interested in luring high school students into technical fields with lyrics such as:

"I made the calculator and computer, too,

cause math is not something everybody can do ...

I am an engineer.

Respect my mind. So bow down when u see me downtown."

You certainly are.

And sounding like Pink Floyd can't be a good thing either. Pink Floyd are agents of Satan, and not in a good way.

I got the album in Tower two weeks ago and really like it.

They got compared to Brian Eno and Sigur Ros in loads of reviews but I don't hear it myself more like the Doves and MBV in their quieter moments or Mercury Rev.

I purchased it along with the yourcodenameis:MILO album so I had two albums to match my two moods angry and meloncholic...
