Back to basics....short and sweet and somehow monotonous, but hopefully in the good way. That reminds me of a story I read in a Jaki Liebzeit interview. Before CAN he was playing with a freejazz band in Spain. At one gig the bandleader wanted him to concentrate playing the cymbals with a violin bow. He did what was asked, but during the somewhat chaotic gig one audience member came up to him and said: "Man, you are a drummer, you should be playing monotonously!" It was the first time when he had heard someone mentioning monotonus as a positive thing.... he started to think about it more and more and the rest is history
