unlike "weekend", i found this album enjoyable. among the those two and "appearence and the park", this album appealed to my hip-hop sensibility. often i was able to freestyle rhymes over the beats. each song creates an image in my mind, like a miniature movie. during my drive across the united states, this is the only kreidler disk i took. my only suggestion would be is to listen to the music yourself and then decide....

Kreidler's Appearance And The Park album really had a great feeling with it's warm touch to the electronic soundcapes. but with this album, there seems to be more emphasis on a colder, more sterile atmosphere. these pieces seem rather detached and it doesn't work when they try to break out of that detachment and try their hand at acting quirky. it just sounds kinda embarrassing and frankly, boring. the inclusion of Momus on the second track is one of those main embarrasments. Leo Garcia's vocal contribution towards the end of the album work a little bit better, but the music sounds like warmed over leftovers. overall, this record just farts around and doesn't go anywhere. seek out Kreidler's first two records or their amazing Eve Future mini ep before attempting to digest this tepid excursion into tired and fruitless territory.

I don't know what happened. their debut CD was so much better. I can't feel anything from this one, which is full of kinky weird beats and strange melodies.. :/
