I wouldn't agree with this - the melodies are still there, just more subtle. I'm really happy with this EP - doesn't sound at all like 'autechre bleep bloop' school to me. I think if you just muted the rhythm samples and made the melodic bits louder these tracks would sound 'Soup-like'. Well, except for the first track, because of the MC. Although thats a pretty groovy track in its own right. So, I'd say if you like Soup, get this EP because at least one track (#4) will certainly make you happy. The rest might make you happy - as long as you don't mind it being a little more subtle.
