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.

Aronne
