I think the track Windowlicker is pretty weak, but it
works well with the video. I really don't think this
track has much of a track life to it. I think those
that do like it, will grow bored of it pretty soon.

Track 2 is just toss. 

Track 3 Nannou is a pretty nice track. I don't know if
is worth buying for the one track.

With all the time Aphex Twin has had since his last
release...is this the best he could do? 

On another note, i just got some cds from Pitchcadet
and they are really good. I'll post about them later,
when I have more time. Cheers
