well, the lack of melody is what makes it so great. and anyway, there
*are* melodies in there but they are very unconventional and hard to
hear. take lots of drugs and listen to it again.

accelerator is genius but it's way more "typical" in terms of song
construction. i don't want to get into the whole "does art have to be
innovative or does it have to be good" debate here though. Ephedrina
is both. Accelerator is both, but it's not as innovative.

you mean "fat cat", not "pod room."
anyway, this did bother me a tad, but not enough to detract from the
300 out of 10 rating! i like the bleeps & squawks (and that weird
female vocal sample that's so quiet it's practically subliminal.)
FSOL can do no wrong. Word up.
