i have to agree, this record is throughly enjoyable.  for some reason it
brought "public energy no.1" to mind, although proem's beats are far
more complex (but just as distorted.)

one track sounds like old school autechre but other than that, the thing
is quite original-sounding & instantly rewarding if you're looking for
techical beats with actual song structure & melody.

incidentally, i found this at $12 canadian in halifax.  i'm sure if i
found this in montreal (which is unlikely anyway), it would cost around
$20.  i don't get it.
