Yeah, I agree that this is a great release. I've read quite a few comments
from older SND fans condemning this one, but I thought it was a really
interesting direction to go in. I don't think I'd use the word "glitch" in
relation to it... there are little ticky sounds and everything sounds very
sculpted, but the basis of the tracks is simple repeating chords and
syncopated percussion. I think it was Lance on the IDM list who said it was
kind of lounge, even.
Whatever it is, it's certainly more varied than previous SND releases, if
anyone's heard older stuff and been put off by how similar their tracks can
be from one to the next.
