There something a little too sickly sweet about it for my taste. In some ways it's beautiful, yeah, the synth patch programming is pretty awesome, but it almost seems too formulaic for me, this whole extension of the post-rock sound coming from chicago, now embracing electronics. Maybe it's just that i'm not too into that lounge sound, but i find it kinda boring. However, in a similar vein, if any one likes the TTAviv, and hasn't checked out the Immediate Action double comp on Hefty, they should. There is a TTAviv remix of a John Hughes track, and loads of other stuff of interest. And there is also the Joshua Eustis [ one of the TTAviv chaps ] remix on the new Slicker ep. i shouldn't diss the TTAviv too much cos i be listening to it quite frequently, and enjoy it but it just doesn't blow my mind. $0.02 -thor np:: IIpo Vaisanen - Asuma --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
