I couldn't enjoy a lot of the tracks on this because it so derivative of 'feed me wierd things'-era Squarepusher. Haven't got access to it at the moment but track 2 or 3 is a complete copy of 'squarepushers theme'. They probably haven't but it sounds like they've sat down and tried their damndest to copy it. They done a pretty a pretty good job but the bloody track already exists! Can see why Tom Jenkinson has changed direction to avoid being associated with the copiests (probably why My Bloody Valentine quitted after 'Loveless' to avoid being associated with Chapterhouse, Slowdive and the other crappy shoegazer bands). For me the best tracks on the album are those that stray into mutant lounge/jazz territory and away from pure 'Pusher copies. Nick
