Did anybody else find "The Heartfelt" to be a good listen? I, unfortunately, didn't. They tried to replicate the neo-Kraftwerk sound popularized by Komputer, Mikron 64, MAT-101, Bochum Welt, Kraftwelt, etc., but it just fell flat. I'm all about deadpan vocals (read: "Warm Leatherette") but there is a difference between deadpan and an irritatingly flat, wavering, pseudo-Cockney that clashes with the melodies. The descriptions and reviews made me excited, but it leaves much to be desired in terms of production, lyrics, and general sound. However, in the same order, I got "Supermogadon", "Life is Full of Possibilities", "Cosmic Forces of Mu", and the Tango N' Vectif re-issue, which, of course, are all ace.
