I picked it up Friday [along with a huge stack of really good stuff --
formal reviews to come: the new Jochem Paap and Basic Channel releases
are godly...]
Um, for an artist billing himself as "Fascinating Rhythm" I found the
percussion tracks pretty ordinary -- loopy tweaky midtempo stuff, but
nothing I hadn't really heard before. Not bad, but I was slightly
disappointed. I like 2 out of the 4 tracks -- I'd probably give it a 6.5
or 7 out of 10 if I believed in rating things numerically. :)
Call me nuts, but the stuff on the Probe sublabel has been a bit more
interesting than the things on +8 proper lately.
