When I first got Dead Cities, I found it to be a bit strange, the way they
mix the drum'n'bass with ambient and such, but it didn't take too long
before I realized that it was great.
I definitely think you should listen to it again, and listen to it from
beginning to end, not track by track. And you definitely should at least
give Lifeforms a listen. IMO ISDN isn't all that great.
