Greets all, I just put this on again for the first time in a while and I'm wondering what took me so long. This is great stuff. This is their first release that I've really liked, but it makes up for the rest, I'd say. Any other fans of this out there? For those who haven't heard it, think Autechre/Gescom/Skam-ish stuff. They've dropped all their floaty, mellow ambience and gone beepy. They've got a great list of inspirations which can give you a better idea of the music than I ever could... Inspirations: Survey, The Goblins' Dawn of the Dead Soundtrack, George A Romero, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Tony Williams, Dannie Richmond, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Eric Dolphey, Robert Wyatt, Carl Craig, Autechre, Lol Coxhill, Charles Linehan, Basic Channel, Green Velvet, Scientist, A Certain Ratio, 4 Hero, Wendingen, Further Details, Vorticists, Samuel Beckett, The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Richard Brautigan, Shimizu. And I've just decided that I love this inspirations list idea. Makes me want to run down this list and begin listening to new stuff... Anyway, just a quick recommendation... ---brian
