I picked this up last week upon reading Lance's little review and I was
quite happy. I think it sounds like a cross between Carl Craig in terms of
punchy break/rhythms vs. soothing little chords (ala 69's Sound of Music)
and Autechre (in terms of abstract bleeps and bloops). I would say this
was one of the better things I've picked up in a while. One thing I've
noticed about the production, apart from being really crisp is that the
drum programming shares dnb type characteristics. Not that it is dnb
(certianly not), but the loops are funky and I hear a lot of that fade
out/echo thing on the snares (ok maybe I'm not the best at descriptions)
common to current dnb. It just seems there is a real attention to detail
as far as the drum treatments.
I picked this and the Skampler up on the same day-I was a happy camper
that night!
peace
