   Jazzy with thick atmosphere...Micks fretless bass runs abound...nice
d-n-b rythyms in and out, occasional ambient sections. Acoustic
sounding, very smooth. Interesting instrumentation; you get the
rat-a-tat drum programming with clarinets and all kinds of ethereal
smples, Asian flavored chimes, breakbeats used sparingly and just a
different feel to it than most of what is afoot. It's very inventive,
but not as wild as Bisk. There is an occasional spoken word thing here
and there also. Likin' it so far, but I'm only 6 tracks in...some very
nice effects and odd loping on this. I can definitely hear the Bisk
connection, but more jazzy and atmospheric (as you might expect from
Karn's input).
