First off, the only understanding of electronic music that Amalia has is of techno/trance. The album is not that bad. It has it's ambient moments, it's glitchy/spazzy moments and it has it's dance like moments. If you heard the track that Amalia recommends as the best off the album (the drills for devil dub), you would agree she has no idea what she's talking about. That track is okay, but there are much better tracks off the album (#2+7 are my favorites) but you have to listen to more than just the first 30 seconds before you make a decision. This album is definitely modern IDM/glitch/experimental, so if you like crappy repetitive music (like amalia)...don't waste your time with this album. There's nothing more that I hate than some raver coming along claiming they know everything there is about electronic music (even though they couldn't tell you the difference between a delay and a reverb) and totally bash an album they don't understand.

Overall I would give this album 3.5 stars.

i have a pretty good understanding of elec. music. i've been listening to the genre for nearly a decade... to say this is short of brilliant and a hopscotch away from tourettes would be an understatement. eight frozen tries to carry the chaotic rhythms of milanese with the saavy of skream, emphasis on tries... the only track worth listening to in this entire album would have to be 'the drills for devil dub'. simply because after you get done with the overindulgent beats 40 secs into the song he actually starts to use some of his technical skills to good use, it does carry some sort of direction. mind you he still finds the way to insert a couple unnecessary drills but what would an experimental song be without 'crazy'. you may think i'm over exaggerating, even cruel perhaps in my review but so was he in having me think this was music. i say save your time and money and look for something else...
