If you've ever found u-ziq nauseating, then this may not be the one for
you. It seems like a full-length elaboration on certain parts of "Lunatic
Harness," most obviously the last track. The emphasis is on the melody even
more so than on the most recent albums; they are bizarre or obscure in parts.
Overall the album is very strings-oriented, and has what seems to be at
least one track mocking Fat Boy Slim. The breaks are very similar
(identical?) to those from "LH" and are used in much the same way. I REALLY
like it and would recommend it if you're a u-ziq fan.
Does anyone else see the similarity between "World of Leather" and
"Bikini Ski Boat" from Jega's "Spectrum?"
The Astralwerks promo poster (IDM posters!) says the new album is "14
tracks of atmospheric textures and mathematical beats." Unless Mike's math
was 4 x 4 = 16 then I'm gonna say there wasn't much math involved.
