Funnily enough, I find almost all two lone swordsmen unlistenable because of the horrible electro beats, straightjacketingly uninteresting. Same reason I can't listen to most Freeform. Give me Mu-ziq's Lunatic Harness or Squarepusher up to Big Loada any day. Or the "digital wankery" of Fennesz or Farmers Manual, 1000% more evocative than tls imho. I think that Stay Down and the EP that came before it (esp Bad Commandments Part 2) are their best work. Sorry for the completly uninformative post. I always feel that I ought to weigh in with a different opinion though - I buy so much by mailorder that I rely on people's opinions very often and having bought Freeform due to reviews and not liked most of it (a couple of tracks on make me keep it, the vocal sampling ones) I just want to offer something different. No disrespect to Robert Geary who made the original post.
