I just got this today.  Completely blown away.  this is minimal and
stripped to the bone (though track 3 could be a post rock song).  this
album challenges the listener and makes him question what music really is.


That is not to say it is noise.  Somewhere in the pops, clicks, pulses,
tones and rumbles is a strange beauty.  In the same way minimal techno
creates a "zone" this album creates a similar feeling.  But the feeling is
much more cold.

Pan(a)sonic's best album yet.  By the way, anyone think the title of "A" 
is a slam towards panasonic electronics (for pressuring the name change)? 

if you don't like experimental music stay far far away.
