LP5 was confusing the first time I heard it...I hadn't heard Chiastic Slide yet, so I was totally thrown by the digital noise wastelands between the "songs." Puzzled, I listened to it every day (often twice) for a week, aided by a week of vacation and deep involvement in a computer game. Then suddenly, the thing gelled, the songs became achingly beautiful, and the noise between them seemed to link them together in such an enjoyably conplex way. Now I can barely listen to tri repetae-- seems too simple!, and LP5 was one of my favorites of last year. I expect something similiar with EP7. Though I took to cichlisuite the second I heard it, so ya never know. (LP5 side question-- saw a nothing/warp AE release yesterday, looked like LP5 but was all white instead of grey...was this EP7? If so, it was selling for LP price.) r o b np-- ming & fs hell's kitchen. dang, I'm enjoying this. Quite good and progressive hip hop/jungle/electro/idm stuff. This track 'CLS' is as bleepy as something wagon christ would do, but with good rappin' over the top. check my review in a few months in grooves #3...peaceout
