SND's second and third 12"ches (newtables and travellog, respectively) are
very nice. But "stdio" sounds like a parody of the SND style, a lot of the
creativity and lustre of their other releases seems to be lost. Or maybe
their sound is just getting a bit overworn with me.. (although I do like
Mark Fell's recent solo 12" on hobby industries, shirt trax, etc. a bit)
I'd like to see them evolve a bit and tackle slightly different
territory, as pan_sonic have done with their latest LP. I hear much more
happening in these tracks than in "A"... even string-like washes are
present, but in a very pan_sonic way. It's cohesive and totally
recognizable as pan_sonic, but nicely and succinctly progressed from their
last album.
