Quite a strange comp.  Has Richard James contributing to the first track
I've heard from him in two years that didn't have me reaching for my
sickbucket, a really, um, pleasant BOC track, some good "bad craziness" from
Broadcast, an obvious Autechre leftover, an awesomely bad string
of lame-ass loungey triphop tracks in the middle (the Plone track is
especially weak  -- and these guys are a new signing?!?)
a Mira Calix track with a _really_ dopey
drum sound, decent but unremarkable dancefloor techno
from Mark  Bell & 2 Lone Swordsmen...

  -d.w.

on now: Balil "Island" (thanks for the reminder, Chris)
