Title: Some good bits, but...
Product review: Wow! So very disappointing. I understand and respect an artist's right and need to explore new avenues of expression, and, as a Photek fan I realize that he couldn't go too much farther with the minimalist drum and bass he'd become known for. However, I think this record mostly falls flat. First of, the two old-school house tracks are terrible. Aren't there enough crappy house tracks out there? The rest of the tracks retain elements of Photek's dark and intricate sound, and in my opinion there is about a 50/50 sucess/failure rate. Nothing is as awful as the two house songs, but all in all, i think i'll stick with "Modus Operandi" and "Form and Function." I'd try to listen to some of this before you run out and buy it, because it's a big step in a different direction, and if you're expecting "Modus Operandi", you're going to be disappointed.
