I can't understand how you could say "Mag" needs more "oomph", not in the way I understand the word anyway! Hip hop don't stop! (with uniquely autechre sounds rattling along gently in there too). However I can understand why people don't take to "Snackwitch" as it is a rather bizarre track with its cheezy news-bulletin stab and difficult lop-sided rhythm track. I suppose it's not an EP in the strict sense, though both tracks are fairly long.
