huh?  how was this album rhythmically complex?  the few times i listened
to it, i was under the impression that the same exact breakbeat was
being used throughout, at around the same tempo.  as for it being dark,
i suppose that's open for interpretation, but the appellation baffles me
a bit.  is 'dark' what they call melody-less, minimal drum n bass?

then again, i'm pretty ignorant of drum n bass, so i'm probably just
making a fool of myself here.  i just wonder where the complexity is in
these beats & why i missed it.

anybody notice i talk too much?
