The beats are more complex and interesting, the production levels have gone up, that and it sounds like the melodies work better together. That being said, I think both discs are quite excellent. D'Archangelo isn't a he, its a set of brothers. What other pseudonyms have these guys recorded under that I need to check out. As for the CD's overal length, it doesn't seem to bother me as the tracks all work together and it feels like a complete work. Lets just hope they don't wait another 3 years to put out a CD Rob Codec! http://www.mindstorm.com/codec LogiQ http://www.mindstorm.com/logiq
