I have to agree with Bob. Although there are one or two
excellent tracks on the album, overall it was just a bit too generically
dubby to really grab my attention. Maybe next time out? Their track on
TEX3 is pretty huge, so there's reason to hope. I'm not too impressed
that American has finally decided to put all this stuff out in the
states. A lot of it is already out (P.J., Seefeel, etc.) and the rest
isn't particularly exciting. I wonder how much of the Warp catalog
Warner is going to deal with here.
I'll also second Bob's plug for the recent Sun Electric live.
Easily the best thing they've done and a powerful slice of digital
sunshine. It's probably best discussed on the ambient list, though.
