I won't say anything about the EP itself, not having heard it. I do
recall it got a pretty favorable reception on the 313 list. Differences
between the 313 list aesthetic and the IDM list aesthetic probably account
for the differences noted above... ;)
the EP you so thoroughly savage wasn't made by some dumb teenaged boy, it
was made by Kellie Hand, who runs her own label, Acacia, out of Detroit
(although I've heard she's moved to Atlanta).
As far as the _Theory of Evolution_ goes, I suspect someone looking for
"Global Communication's Greatest Hits" would be disappointed, but as a
historical document of a forward-thinking dance label I think it works
pretty well.
