        No, I agree that it's not a revolution at all.  In fact, I was somewhat
disappointed with it when I first got it because I thought it was really
samey MAS/Autechre type drippy little drum pitterings that I'd heard so
often before, but since then I've listened to it at least 30 times & it has
really become one of my favourite things to listen to for a while now.
        So what I'm saying is, give it more of a chance & some more time to sink in.
