Polyrhythmic, highly structured complex beats, funky but without the "funk" of Jake Slazenger, say. Good clever stuff, but if it came down to a choice between this and "Anvil Vapre" I know where I'd stand.

I didn't like it. I thought it was technically over-sophisticated for it's own good, as Pyke doesn't demonstrate enough practical skill in song-creation, and focuses instead on layering sequenced noise. It's nice maybe the first few listens, but has been collecting dust on my shelf since i first bought it a month ago.
