Mediocrity and rephlex just don't play.
Hrmgh..Chimera is a good album, but then I really liked the Kosmik Kommando album too. I agree about the mike and rich abomination though. second only to the squarepusher album in the list of Rephlex albums I listened to in store, disliked, and didn't buy....and I've bought and liked almost everything Rephlex has ever released. I've learned to listen before buying now...too many labels and artists who have produced such wonderful music in the past are letting me down these days. Where are the "Electronic Highways" and "G-Spots" of the world anymore? T.
