Mmm maybe I shouldn't answer, as I think all there stuff is brilliant, however all of it is interesting, and very rarely could you call them "noisy" Incunabula is generally perhaps more percussive than Amber, but a little rougher round the edges soundwise (not saying that as a bad thing, just that Amber is as smooth and rounded as a velvet bag full of peaches. Just watch out for the stones.) I really don't think you could go wrong with either. On the EP front, Garbage is very laidback, starting with mellow electro and finishing up pure ambient, while Anti is 3 very upbeat tracks, but Flutter in particular is beautiful and charming as well as pumping those bassbins.

Yes. But everyone seems to be enthusing massively about the new one. I should be getting it this weekend. These are the only LPs RHK has released on WARP, plus the Sweet Exorcist "Clonks" experiment, which I would hesitate to recommend anyone to buy without listening, I love it, but its damn weird.

Sadly, as far as I know, no. Someone else may know better?
