Hmm, just to give a different opinion, I find "The Fear" really
annoying. Those vocals are just totally gratuitous, and the synth
playing is all over the place...

Hmm, I think Mike's quasi-classical stuff on Lunatic Harness and Royal
Astronomy is at least as good as the Girl/Boy type stuff of Aphex's...

Found this album a mix of horribly cheesy stuff and completely boring
stuff...

But, each to their own - no value judgements intended, just wanted to
add a differing voice...
