***Bryan/IDM:  There are ten tracks.  CD version has a CDROM track which is
apparently a video.  Sound wise, it is a variety, but all of it is so damn
warm.  It's crazy, but not in a all over the place let's take this to the
limit kind of thing.  It's like a warm bath with percussion dancing around in
the background  The last track just finished, and it was a symphonic piece,
whereas the rest was like some kind of soulful dance between analog percussion
and analog keys.  It sounds like they spent a lot of time on it (a year says
the press release), but not in a polished kind of way, more of a
we-wanted-this-to-sound-good-in-the-long-term sort.  Played the second track
on the show (In The Mix) last night and it was, from memory, more in the
electro-ish vein, and then started today listening from after that track
onward.  There is a lot there to get the head around in the first listen, I'm
just going through a pile of new things and this was screaming "I'm amazing"
really loud compared to some of the others.  Hope this helps,at least a bit.
I'm not very eloquent word wise at the moment due to too much computer work
and not any fuel (sleep, water, food,etc).  Andrew
