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
