I was really surprised when I heard this album.. "Furnace" and "The Eyes.."
were very well thought out and were full of fresh (at the time) ideas. This
new release just sounds like a painfully rushed rehash of platEAU's "Music
For Grassbars" to me, except putting a little more influence on textures
and ambience and less on the beat (or "less house-y, more trance-y"). Oddly
enough, I like house music a lot more than generic trance-ness, so I
imagine I won't be buying another Download release for a while. Perhaps
I'll buy whatever EP cEvin & the Subconscious Kru are doing to put the
Autechre remix on.
