the reason i don't find EP7 as interesting as LP5
is that each track seems to pivot upon the use of
a single (identifiable) plug-in or DSP trick...
seemingly forgoing actual melodic/rhythymic development
to concentrate on the ultra-sonic decimatoring of
a melody line or to allow a loop crippled with
noise reduction to monopolize the listener's attention.
yeah, there is more post-processing, but, to me, it
seems as if this is the equivalent of a summer blockbuster
movie that trades off on plot for excercises in sonic
special effects... but hey, that might be why it's been
released as an EP and not a straight-up full-length.
