I just picked this up yesterday, after sampling the tracks on Toytronic's
website. After listening to it, the first track still blows me away. However,
for me, the rest of the album just gets an unenthusiastic "meh."

Yeah - I was surprised, I liked this one, too.
And now, since I've been so mean and pessimistic lately, I thought I'd do my
own little personal final music picks & happy thanksgivings for 2002:
Best long-players (and others I'm thankful for):
================
Kristuit Salu vs Morris Nightingale - My Mines I
ML - Everyone Looks Like Somebody Else
Max Tundra - Mastered By Guy At The Exchange
BoC - Geogaddi
Jello - Voile
Susumu Yokota - The Boy and the Tree
Akufen - My Way (maybe...)
Bola - Fyuti
Proswell - Konami
Decal - 404 Not Found
Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk
Freeform - Human
David Bowie - Heathen
Jim O'Rourke - I'm Happy, And I'm Singing...
(OK, that's an old one, but I just got into it this summer)
...and I just ordered Spark - The Robotic Girl Next Door (on n5MD), and I think
from the samples that this is going to be a late addition to my best of 2002.
Best singles/eps:
================
Kid 606 - Why I Love Life
Proem - No Carrier
Autechre - Gantz Graf
Um, er, I'm not much of an EP/single person, really. I tend to avoid them like
the plague, especially if their on vinyl.
Aside from the music, I'm thankful for my girlfriend (now my wife, for those
keeping score at home, but I still call her my girlfriend - wife is too
strange) - I'm thankful for my little literary discovery this year, Kim Stanley
Robinson, and the path he's led me on; I'm thankful for Antarctic penguins (all
of them - Emperor, Adelie, Gentoo...); I'm thankful for the few rational minds
I meet, and perhaps some of the irrational ones as well; and for the good
people in the Green Party, and other people non-violently protesting for peace;
and finally, last but not least, I'm thankful for the IDM-list, which, though I
delete most of its ramblings and advertisments, I still find bits and pieces of
use here, mixed in with the occasional snicker or guffaw.
