Quite unexpected, and unlike other Pan(a)sonic and related projects I've
heard. From one track to the next, the pieces jump from restrained,
non-rhythmic noise to cheese-lounge electronica. I expect the
collaborators had a large contribution.
I listened to the whole thing straight through, albeit sort of at 90
degrees (as opposed to background). It might work better in smaller
amounts. My reaction now is it is something of a curiosity, made
primarily if not exclusively for a specific purpose, rather than a work
meant to be taken as a normal step in their development. Proceed with
caution. Rating: maybe 5/10.
"A" is worth about 8/10 at least.
