I have been having my copy of this album for a couple of days now, and I have
listened to it about a dozen times.  It is another autechre album that I have
fallen in love with, but at the same time, I am dissapointed in some ways.  I
just wish sometimes that they would get off the minimal tip for a couple of
tracks and write some tracks in more of a poppy structure with more of an
obvious hook.  That would be the daring thing for Ae to do in my opinion.  It
is expected that most of their tracks will be in this minimal style of slowing
changing over time.  I just wish they would take a song in bunch of different
directions.  Also, while there is a degree of looseness and randomness on the
album, I feel that it is not as random as cichli suite.  All in all though, I
do like the album very much and i would give it a 4 out of 5;  i just think
its missing a few things to call it complete genius.

Can somebody point me to some reviews of this album, or send me one of theirs
if anybody out there has typed one up?  I am interested in hearing others
opinions.


THANKS
