content: Bibio's guitar playing is adequate, but any listening pleasure one might derive from that is ruined by the extremly bad recording quality. In this day and age of cheap digital recording equipment it's unbelievable that somebody produces a *whole album* that sounds as if it has been registered on a dictaphone with a worn-out tape. Sure, it's a fun sound effect, if used sparingly and with a certain purpose in mind. Track after track of guitar noodlings with scratchy highs and missing lows really starts to grate on both my ear drums and my musical sensibility though.Maybe I am just not "avant garde" enough to get the subtlety of Bibio's approach. I rather suspect though that Bibio's is having a major laugh that people actually take his pseudo-folky recorded-in-one-day stuff seriously.
