It's basically a collage of strange sound bites, loops and sonic
weirdness. Those people who stick it in their deck, press play and sit
back are missing the point. The idea is to play around with it -- play
it in shuffle mode, program your own seamless sequence, loop between
edit marks or entire tracks, go exploring, etc. It's pretty much been
designed as an interactive experience rather than a passive one.
Worth buying an MD deck for? Perhaps not, but it's probably the only
commercial MD release that really takes advantage of an MD player's
capabilities. Autechre fans who have an MD player should snap it up
though -- it's an essential addition to anyone's IDM collection.
