3 out of 5 stars So-so listening.......2000-09-12

I bought this album on a whim after this artist was featured in the "Justify Your Existence" section of The Onion's AV Club. I wasn't sure what to expect, really.

The music seems to me like the result of someone throwing lounge music and ambient techno in a blender and setting it to puree. It's pleasant enough most of the time, but it doesn't really engage my brain and it lacks the texture and substance that I like. Plus which, some of the vocal samples are downright annoying at times.

5 out of 5 stars Sounds great in my truck.......2000-08-31

In the hands of most anyone else, this post-avant-post-rock, would sound weak and fuzzy, like most anything else out of former butchering cities (Chicago, Bethesda, Etc.) but Dave P. Drummer and composer writes crackling gems and then doesn't [Amazon has omited this word] them up or bleed them dry like scabby "art music." He treats them right, and then, when the moment is ripe, he cracks the "songs" open and makes omlets (sp?)
