Housey stuff: the gimmick is he samples cutlery and other household objects. Nothing on it is as potentially offensive as his "Royal Wedding" on the 'Theory of Evolution' comp, but this keeps anything on it from being terribly exciting, either.

Blah. A mediocre record that took ages to record. The Stone Roses of techno, indeed. Get 'Frequencies' if you don't have it - it's a classic.

It's not received any really hostile reviews on the list. I'm waiting to pick it up used (if there's one thing you can set your watch by, it's that MBM albums always show up in the used bins, sooner or later).
