How many people have bought the Mind Over Midi CD from BeatService?
I have and I'm pretty impressed.
The album sometimes shows up its origins as a collection partly made
up of tracks from EPs, by the variety of the material, which varies
from tough acidic dancefloor techno to brain-twisting mellow
experiences. But this is not the overriding feeling, as in fact the
album flows rather well from one track to another. There are some
really hypnotic moments, such as the track "Elektrical Aktivity", and
some sweet delicate black-doggy tracks too. It's more of a techno
album than much of the current stuff being discussed on idm, but its
much more of an idm album than something like Joey Beltram or Steve
Stoll, where the bang-bang factor is around 100%. I have not listened
to this album enough yet - it's quite subtle rather than immediately
memorable, but it is an accomplished and interesting piece.
worth 7/10
