I've seen only the original version (on +8) in the US. Overall I think it's spotty in places ... title track is _very_ good and de-orbit is as well (the latter not added to the US version) but most of the other stuff, some of which was recorded much earlier (like spikkels) IMHO suffers from repetitiveness and general lack of ideas. I'd give some of the others in the AI series, most notably Polygon Window and B12 a chance before this, or even the Wildplanet album (why wasn't this in the AI series? Too dancy?). Anyway, has the Autechre album been released yet? Any good? /-oOOo------------oOOo-\ --------------------------/------------------------\-------------------------- "the only constant / Harvey D.
