I also found it a bit strange that this has gotten no mention... on a
superficial level I'd
say it sounds a bit like  the whole 'schematic/mas' thing going around
these days but
somehow it seems to interject a good deal of personality and more
importantly a fair
amount of melody... (read also: not as slick/ a bit more 'human')

In a nutshell there are some nice chord progressions and a few harmonies
that sneak
in and out on occasion.... As someone who has been disappointed for the
last few
months w/ my  purchases in this neighborhood of sound, I'd say this is
well worth
tracking down.

apparently, this is a first effort by some guy from austria and i
believe its out on worm interface.

only negative is the brown paper bag sleeve (not unlike those school
lunch bags)
which hasn’t held together so well for me...

A friend bought this vinyl-only 12" at Sister Ray in London;  it comes
in
a brown-paper-bag-like sleeve.  He reckons it's pretty good:  "Like
Aphex
Twin but more exciting."

I've not seen any discussion of this on idm -- anyone know who this is?
