If you dont like navy warships then you wont like any
of the other releases produced by phthalocyanine because
they are all in that disjointed experimental style (which
i personally enjoy). The Logan's ep is also produced
by phthalocyanine. Actually, you may enjoy the Viridian
cdep by Phthalocyanine. It's a lot less experimental
because it was produced back in '93 for Plug Research
and reissed on the Phthalo label last year. It has a dark
spacious early-autechre sound.

Yes Icepick tracks would be a good one as
would the 4mod3 and v/vm eps. Nice melodies
combined with unique structures.

I put the Rook Valard, OST, & Crank releases
all in the same category incorporating some
experimental elements with idm-ish elements.
Give them a try.
