Boring? I disagree. :) I'll admit that three out of the four tracks don't really cut it on a techno/idm level, but then there's that sublime Jedi Knights remix of 'Absorber'. It's probably my fave thing Tom & Mark have done as The Jedi Knights, as they drop the played-out retro routine in favor of a Detroit-style space-funk masterpiece with a gorgeous little melodic hook. It's probably closer to their Link material than anything else, and it's totally mesmerising. Saves the 12" for me. - Matthew "I grew up thinking that techno music is actually something that you can't imagine. That is techno at its best.
