That's exactly how the album came off sounding to me. Granted it was better than most of the other knock off artists (and there's a whole lot out there... back in 96-99 Ae's was the most copied style of any IDM artist... now it's BoC), but the structures, sounds and melodic progressions are VERY reminiscent of Amber, Tri Rep and the early-mid era remixes. They pull it off well, but i didn't see them as the best thing on Warp in 2001. THAT title belongs to Chris Clark... who I'd MUCH rather see a sophomore album from than Brothomstates. -Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
