I think it was my mom who said something like 'if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all.' I said 'bollocks to that, mom!' It's well done and very shiny and delicate and smooth, but it's got no fire, no spirit, no balls. That may be all well and good for some people, but it just doesn't do it for me. Even with Boards of Canada, who I'm not a big fan of, I can hear that they take some chances melodically and rhythmically and still have a rather mellow, 'adult electronica' feel. TTAviv you could put on the PA at an old folks home and they would enjoy it. Or KCRW. So thanks, but I think I'll be listening to Somatic Responses, Not Breathing, and Babyland today. Apologies to my mom.
