have to disagree on this one. this is is my least favorite track on the cd. it's like 'oh my god, not the 'seinfeld bas!' it's cheesy enough to be the soundtrack to a video game.  

over all there's complex programming and crunchy beats, big autechre influence, but i find it hard to listen to for more than 2 or 3 tracks, can't put my finger on just why...

this one's not bad at all. the songs repeat themselves a little too much for my tastes, but you do get nice chords (organic sounding pads) and melodies (indeed with the sqaure wave)over breakbeats programmed with a nice jazzy swing.
