the new phlex is by far the Least inovative release
he's signed his name to.
the piano bits are not very good at all
(satie's life was much more interesting than
his music imo)
the 'prepared' piano tracks are only slightly better.
and the beat tracks are nothing new (at all)
besides the fact that he's extended his drum
kit a bit (a bit of 8 is allways great).
nothing to freak out about, i think allot of
ppl are gonna be bummed to say the least..
personally i would've rather waited a few
years and heard something new and fresh
from him.
word.
