i'm a sucker for most anything CR, so i may be a little predisposed when i
say that i like both records.  i will agree that the production on CR23 is
a little dead and the bass levels won't quite shake the cones like we're
accustomed to a stefan betke mastering doing, but a couple of the tracks on
the matrix CR are pretty cool and a little change of pace, with more of a
housier feel.

haven't fully digested the hallucinator, but it does seem a little weaker
that what  you might expect.  maybe it will grow on me.

but the new rhythm & sound -- carrier.....   ohmagodmon-----
