The first time I heard D'fish 2 I was very impressed (for the first five minutes.) There are some very uncharacteristically murky textures (for Namlook, but particularly for Mixmaster Morris, who normally takes the trippy-airy route), and the precise, staccato sounds are also not too common for Fax. 20 minutes later, though, not much has changed, and that's this album's main problem. It would have been great as an EP or a compilation piece, but it's outrageously redundant for a full-length. Ashok
