Yeah, I agree, BUT this album is also almost entirely devoid of melodic content. Accelerator was better, IMHO. The few bits that are melodic are sampled -- i.e. Pod Room's main riff is right out of "Of These, Hope reprise)" by Peter Gabriel (and Petey does a much better job adding percussion to it than FSOL's bleeps and squawks).. and the main sample that repeats all the way through the dub track is from a Hawkwind album -- but the production and overall sound, the atmospheres they create, are all as great as you say and I recommend it to those who don't have it yet. mike
