a change of style is right! "present" was one of my favorite idm albums of 1996, and i can honestly say that "via nostra" SUCKS. the first to track are all right, but the rest of the album is a huge disappointment! one track is the most pathetic attempt at dub i'v ever heard. basically, the flaws of this album are: the melodies/songwriting are weak and the production/soundz are cheasy. let's hope s.u. get back on track for the next lp -adrien nate wrote:
