I recently bought systemisch after giving it a listen at the store. I
have to say that I enjoy listening to it, it's definately not boring. I
think if you find it boring then your probably not actually listening to
it. You might be hearing it, but that's not enough with this recording.
But I also have to add that I'm disappointed in that they seem to have
recorded an entire album of fast forwarding through other artists cd's!
What the hell is that? Why didn't they make their own recordings and
fast forward through them? Mediation is definately a copy of a track 2
disk 2 of aphex's amb.works vol.2 in fast forward. Go ahead fast forward
through it, there's no mistaking it. I recognized it the first time. But
as I said I really enjoy listening to it, and despite the blatant
molestation of other artists work , I feel that it is innovative and
stimulating.
