I couldn't agree more. This album has been in more or less continuing rotation since I got it. Catchy as hell, and reminds me a bit of the almost as excellent MAT-101 album "Goodbye Mum!", without the electro influences. This already has a spot reserved in my top 10 of 1999. Highly recommended. And the sound? Large, chunky analogue warmth and tasty analogue drums that don't overwhelm you, with sweet melodies that stick with you for hours. I've seen it described as a mix of Kraftwerk, Boards of Canada, and Add N to X, and that is a pretty spot on description. nickrejack

well, i can understand the mat-101 reference, but i thought _goodbye mum_ fell flat, & none of the melodies sounded interesting enough to keep my attention, whereas pluxus' compositions are lively, energetic, & less cheesy. & you don't need to have spent your entire youth playing atari games to understand the point of it. (i didn't.) bottom line: i sold _goodbye mum_ before even getting to the end of it, but i listened to _fas 2_ through at least once every day since i got it. go figure. -- david
