Below is a quickie review I did for All-Music Guide.  I loved it, by the
way...

With "The Amateur View," To Rococo Rot leaves behind their many fumbling
colleagues in the field of post-rock/post-techno to set upon a course of
their own, a lush vision of listener electronica. Highlights "Telema" (the
single) and "A Little Asphalt Here and There" are bursting tone-capsules of
warm, laidback electronic funk, far less focused on the angular abstractions
of previous TRR material. Although it's still leagues away from the
electronic dance mainstream (or even the electronic listening mainstream),
"The Amateur View" offers an intriguing glimpse at the future of techno.
