If you want a comparison, the new LP sounds like _Pencha_ and another 
one (_Charachi_?) from _Cichlisuite_ but a bit madder. Its pretty wicked 
with two or three immediate stand-out tracks - although by my previous 
experience, it takes about a good three years for me to get into an Ae 
album so wait until then for a better review :)

The Ae track on WAP100 is very cool.

Other cool things:

BoC 7", 10" and LP - too damn good. I need to go back and listen to the 
original Skam 12" which I remember roundly dissing when it came out. For 
some reason.

WAP100 - it's _AI3_ basically. Reccomendation enough.

Subconcious Geography's CD _Contaminated by Technique_ - I'm very 
impressed with this CD. I think its all IDM list-members (Stuart?) and 
its all emminently releaseable stuff. What I like about it is the fact 
that it doesn't tread the (to my ears) tired, 'speed funk' toss but 
takes a bit more of a serious (and more competent) look at IDM. All the 
tracks have something good about them with one or two real stand-outs. 
Professional sounding too. Check it out if you're lucky enough to snag 
one of the 100 copies.
