I don't know...it's not like this isn't an experimental record. It's got
plenty of weird things happening to at least make an old lady twitch
unintentionally. True it's not an abrassive record, but it makes a lot of
use of drilling and grinding (which we've heard a lot of lately, even with
damn N'Sync). It's a very melodic record, but it doesn't really recall the
early AI stuff. This record says there's hope for new IDM to be melodic AND
groundbreaking. And yes, I'd say this is a groundbreaking record. A lot of
people may not see it, but I think a lot of producers will recognize it as
such.
You're right about one thing for sure: this record lacks serious balls. But
it might just get you laid :)
