I couldn't agree more. This album has been in more or less continuing
rotation since I got it. Catchy as hell, and reminds me a bit of the almost
as excellent MAT-101 album "Goodbye Mum!", without the electro influences.
This already has a spot reserved in my top 10 of 1999. Highly recommended.
And the sound? Large, chunky analogue warmth and tasty analogue drums that
don't overwhelm you, with sweet melodies that stick with you for hours. I've
seen it described as a mix of Kraftwerk, Boards of Canada, and Add N to X,
and that is a pretty spot on description.
