my first take on "Scrypt" needs to be rather drastically revised, im embarrased to say :) while the album at many points surprisingly references rock (and maybe even shoegaze once or so), the album as a whole is really very much an electronic one. and he does noodle (in good ways). i dont know what gave me such an initial strong impression that it was so rock oriented! i listened to the samples of the album on Thrill Jockey's web site (http://tinyurl.com/nr8k) after posting the first review, and said to myself "what the hell was i thinking". oh well. there *are* rock elements (especially the track Thrash Application :). but it is *definately* an electronic album. all the same, in spite of the misimpressions, it is an excellent release!!! sorry about the confusion (blush)
