Yep, there's about 22 tracks -- lots of short little nuggets of sound.
Like the other poster said, the tracks simply do their job and move on
in the shortest time possible. No hanging around repeating loops or
sections of the music just for the sake of it. Each track is just the
right length. Compare this to Downie's solo Black Dog album, "Music
for Adverts & Short Films", which contains similar bite-sized chunks
of tunes, but seems to drag on a bit and gets quite boring in places.
If you like Amber-period Autechre, Plaid, that sort of thing, then you
should get a kick out of CiM. Try and track down the 8-track "Service
Pack" EP too -- similar sort of stuff to be found on there.
