I have to agree with this. Awesome album. I haven't completely digested it yet,
but man, even just the first track... Great great stuff.

> >From Schematic's site, this bit sums it up quite well:

> "Church of the Ghetto P.C. is an aural experience of jaw-dropping agog,
> like reading a new language, a kind of graffiti action-script dedicated to
> all the industrial back-alley disjecta of our Bill Gates-induced modernity.
> Sharing slang with the Schematic crew, o9 can still talk minimal with the
> Raster-Noton label, noise-therapy with Mego, and knows the uprock
> narratives of Warp's great masters. o9's voice has the whole idiomatic

> all his own.
> Nothing can prepare you for his application of shamanistic sound, those

> is a stunning and convulsive ripple of deep-membrane funk and syntactical

> total beat typography, o9 has written the first hard-driven masterpiece of
> this new dead-end, face-to-the-terminal century." -- Lee Henderson
