In the spirit of my one-person quest for content in idm reviews, I have to strongly urge everyone to LISTEN to this before picking it up. I personally found it horribly cheesy and mostly uninteresting. The harmonies and emotional content don't come within a light year of Boards of Canada or the best of Gescom/Autechre to main but two. In my opinion that is. Peter. P.S. I know there's not a great deal of content in this commentary, but a) having listened to a friend's copy (a couple of times) and tried to like it, I decided not to purchase it, so I can't comment any more in depth, and b) my point here is just to give non-Global-Goon-aware readers a different opinion of his work, so they don't just go "someone said it's cool, I'll pick this up." -- Peter Hollo xxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx http://www.fourplay.com.au/me.html FourPlay - Eclectic Electric String Quartet http://www.fourplay.com.au Raven: experimental electronic http://www.fourplay.com.au/sound.html "Of course, dance music can be a music where you lie on your back and your brain cells dance" -Michael Karoli of Can, quoted in Wire mag.
