i'd like to interject another opinion.

si-{cut}.db - Behind you - CD - Surburbs of Hell - SOH SP 025
If the Artificial Intelligence series of Warp needed a follow-up this
could be the one. Somewhere between The Black Dog towards T
Power, Douglas Benford makes very atmospheric beautiful music,
whereas Scanner does the production. Complex but fresh beats
combined with deep beautiful strings, synths and fine basses. Nine
tracks, and also two done in a remix by Robin Rimbaud, together very
fast forward into the surrealistic future. Surely one of the beauties for
'97 and beyond! Delicious. (Arnold)
