Yup - the more I listen to this, the more I love it. I thought it sounded intially like BDP-lite but theres a lot of depth and soul to it thats not immediately apparent. IMHO. Maybe I'm just yearning for some old _Bytes_ style stuff too much.

The whole pack is better than _Girl/Boy_ or _RDJ LP_ I reckon. Mainly on the variety front but I think he's a bit tighter on this one. Greg put the artwork up yesterday (and possibly the .RAs) at Warp-Net. I had nightmares about those kids with the latex faces last night. Brrrr. "Come and see the funny man"

Sounds like a gramme of pure good taste.

I thought it was pretty uninteresting. There was none of the twisting experimentation of _Chiastic_, none of the variety of _Tri Repetae_ or _Second Bad Vilbel_ and no funky, groove inspired tracks like the one off of _Envane_. It seems to meander along quite nicely - but I didn't think this was prime Ae material. IMO again, naturally.

In a Maurizio style :) I passed it up - it sounded too much like _M5_ or something. Yeah, I know a lot of the stuff sounds similar but this sounded more similar than usual. Type thing.

Hello? You're not impressed because you didn't get sent a freebie? The CD cases being smashed I can understand you being upset about but you usually won't get freebies unless you've made a big tasty order - two CDs ain't a big order. Most mailorder places are cool and pop in a promo or two and some flyers/stickers with a big(ish) order but you shouldn't expect that stuff outright and then complain. If Warp popped in promos for every order, they'd be losing out on quite a few future sales when the actual release date comes round. Don't expect anything and then you'll be pleasantly surprised if something unexpected pops up. || [CiM] || simonw@sol.ftp.com || -
