SORRY but i tend to disagree with you on this one. i don't think this lp
resembles any of Eat static's material in the slightest. Derrick
Carter's sound, the man behind Sound Patrol, is a hell of a lot more
thoughtful, soulful, and smooth than Eat Static have ever sounded. I
think you're talking about two totally different approaches to music
making, and i also find Eat Static to be far more commercial in terms of
using catchy melodies and the like. just my opinion, as i find Derrick
Carter's music much more appealing.
