When I picked this up the store owner told me that is was a lot like autechre. Usually when I am told this, I stay away. However, upon first listen this was very different. It is definitely inspired by the AE boys but Funckarma have taken it up another notch. This sounds like what would have happened if AE was signed to Hymen (a sub-label of Ant-Zen) instead of warp. The music on here is full of emotion, mechanical, distorted and coming from a dark aesthic. There are very few albums that get immediate repeat listens from (I.E. letting the CD player loop). This is one of those albums. Now to track down those 12's. -daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
