Style itself is pretty bland, but Bigpipe Style is tops. The Old Style
and New Style mixes are fairly listen-to-able, as is Mock Tudor. But
the best track of the lot is definitely An Fhomhair.

I wasn't too keen on Tenor's earlier stuff, where he came across as a
somewhat hit-and-miss ironic cousin of Gary Numan. His newer, jazzier,
funkier stuff is great though.

All the old Rephlex posse are starting to sound a bit tired lately --
almost as if they're not bothering. Except for Leila, who's far too
good for the label.
