I just got the domestic, I agree that I was somewhat disappointed.... and, I'm glad I waited. I think Milkman would be excellent without the vocals, whcihc to me are just stupid and not funny (whereas Children Talking was nice).. I think though, the album on the whole is ok, no tracks really stand ut for me yet.... with this release, RDJ for me is no longer a standout in IDM, maybe some people have viewed his stuff this way for awhile... But he used to inhabit a special categroy above alot of other artists in IDM for me... now I think his stuff really isn't that special, and witht t e proliferation of more interesting, and (good) IDM, I don't think I'll be buying all RDJs releases anymore.... andy
