I haven't heard the Funkungfusion track but "Big Soup" is definitely a
melodic album.  It's all over the place in a subtle way.  There are some
minor hints of drum'n'bass that keep creeping in, but it's low key.  The
major cohesive thread is cheez.  It ranges through mu-ziq like cheezy
melodies, squeeky sounds, breezy whistle melodies, triangles and cow
bells, and silly vocal samples.  There's a particularily endearing
sample of someone saying "You can now here what it sounds like when one
speaks through a ring modulator," and then proceeding to do so.  It's an
extremely fun album if you like mu-ziq like melodies, lounge musiq and
silly samples.

Sheila.
