Yeah, I wasn't knocked out by 'Royal Astronomy' either. I liked the
single, 'The Fear', which was a quirky slice of techno pop, but the
rest of the album feels a bit... well, cold. All that "classical meets
breakbeat" just doesn't sit well with me -- and Mr A. Twin did it so
much better on 'Richard D James'. As did Global Goon on 'Cradle of
History'.
I've always found Paradinas' stuff a bit on-off anyway. I love the
Tusken Raiders stuff, Urmur Bile Trax, some of the early Rephlex and
even the Mike & Rich album (although I'm probably alone here!), but
other things, such as the new album, Lunatic Harness, the Jake
Slazenger album and the Speedy J colaboration don't quite work for me.
