I find myself throwing this album on again and again myself. I look at the
album like this... Many of the big name idm acts got props for taking
broken down stlyes like jungle and drum and bass and making them quirky and
fresh again. I think Dynamic Obsolescence takes all that back and puts the
re-framed beats, synths, and whatnot back into a more dancable format. I
don't think i explained that as well as i'd have liked, but hopefully you
get the idea...
