LP5 was confusing the first time  I heard it...I hadn't heard Chiastic
Slide yet, so I was totally thrown by the digital noise wastelands between
the "songs."  Puzzled, I listened to it every day (often twice) for a
week, aided by a week of vacation and deep involvement in a computer game.
Then suddenly, the thing gelled, the songs became achingly beautiful, and
the noise between them seemed to link them together in such an enjoyably
conplex way.  Now I can barely listen to tri repetae-- seems too simple!,
and LP5 was one of my favorites of last year. 

I expect something similiar with EP7.  Though I took to cichlisuite the
second I heard it, so ya never know. 

(LP5 side question-- saw a nothing/warp AE release yesterday, looked like
LP5 but was all white instead of grey...was this EP7? If so, it was
selling for LP price.)

np-- ming & fs hell's kitchen.  dang, I'm enjoying this.  Quite good and
progressive hip hop/jungle/electro/idm stuff.  This track 'CLS' is as
bleepy as something wagon christ would do, but with good rappin' over the
top. check my review in a few months in grooves #3...peaceout
