hats off to monotonik for their first physical release. lackluster's 'cdr#2' is a true gem. melodic idm that goes straight to your head. musically, this takes everything that worked with classic idm, taking out (most of) the trash, & ending up in songs you can appreciate immediately, without any intricate contextual layerings (what plugin was that?) 'not that there's anything wrong with that'. the first half especially is overwhelming. if there's still any copies of that left, do yourself a favor & hunt one down. -- david
