while never terribly impressed by How to Operate with a Blown Mind, a
track, "pony pressure" appeared by Lo-Fi All Stars a few months back on a
Jockey Slut promo CD for Skint.  It's actually quite pretty, featuring a
moody melody that could've been penned by Boards of Canada, some distorted
choral samples, a lengthy spoken-word section, nice, restrained electro-y
beats, and some vocodered vocals that actually work (i usually find vocoder
stuff obnoxious unless it's used on instruments).  It verges on IDM as far
as I'm concerned and if representative of their current direction, would
encourage me to buy my first Skint CD when it gets released.
