Title: Perhaps not knowing the originals helps?
Review: This is an album that contains lots of material I wouldn't normally listen to, being more of an Autechre, Oval, Pole devotee. However, it grows on me at each listen and the only reason that I haven't give it a 5 is that the first reviewer did, and I think it really only deserves 4 & 1/2.There's not a dud track on this album and it's hard to pick standouts. "Good Souls" starts the album off well and with "Mescal", the quirky little gem to follow, makes for an aural taste-bud enlivening entree. "Visions", "System" and "Stuka" give body to the main course, as do the rather warped duo "Put Your Arms Around Me" and "Angels Go Bald Too". All this warmly finished off by the curious little glitch/dub "Untitled 3", a fitting dessert to end a fine meal.A mixture of styles that makes a surprisingly well rounded whole. Good album to chill out to on a lazy day at home (a cat on the lap helps!).
