My sentiments exactly. I was going to write the same reply this
morning, but wanted to listen to 'Advance' again before responding...I
got home tonight and gave it a listen and concurred completely with
Aaron. I'm surprised some people have slagged this one...It's a lot
more IDMish then Frequencies. Most of the tracks are quite slow and
weird, as opposed to fast and funky.
I was little disappointed with Advance at first listen because I had
been playing the shit out of the Tied-Up ep (especially the Electro and
lp mixes) and was expecting more stuff like Frequencies (like everyone
else). This unhappiness with Advance didn't last, and soon it seamed
like I'd work at least one track off it into my weekly chillout sets
with out fail. It's all good stuff, just give it a spin!
peace,
