Hexstatic do a great job on this one. The album starts out pretty good, but once it hits track five it gets real good. Great variety and great production.

the DVD is friggin' awesome. It comes with a pair of 3d glasses because a lot of the videos are in 3D. They really do it up right on this one.

Watch the 3D version of "That Track" (on the DVD) and you will be seeing the most advanced manifestation of music and visual conceptual animation yet developed. I seriously don't know how these people think this stuff up and then actually create it for us to see. I envy and admire their accomplishment. It's like being a kid and seeing TRON for the first time back in the day. This is a whole new landscape. And the tunes ain't bad either.

First listened to this album and realized that it was an instant favorite at the beginning with Extra life, with it's vintage Atari-esque, game feel to the song> The game cartrige 'ping-pong' If I recall correctly had this sample. The ninja track in the following is probably the most catchy with its appropriate breakbeat simplicity kind of like a hybrid of Tawa Tai's Future Listening meets Asphex Twin on a much more melodic, driving pace level so to speak. A classic from the start. Telemetron is a retro fitting lounge kicker that has a San Francisco early 60's sensibility that is not to be missed. Perfect Bird is certainly evocative of what one would find in an animai soundtrack but from what era, am not sure of but it sure can carry a mysterious charm that can carry you away with a steady melody and a girl(?) singing in Japanese. Salvador sounds real Richard H. Kirk-ish with a nice Brazilian drum and samba beat.
After seven tracks of interesting and talent oriented songs and a DVD that pushed the boundaries at that, the 8th track brought me to a crushing halt and stalled the already, on-going enthusiasm that I was having with the aforesaid tracks. Frankly, this short but concerted effort to have rap on this album does not ring with the current vibe of the album and at most, detracts from it sadly. They could have done without that. Now, one may as well have purchased an album by, let's say, Gorillaz, for just cheap thrills. Realizing too, that their other album has alot more of this effort, this one recycles it. Honestly, it had a 5 going for it but it ends up being a 3, face it, you can't play up to anything and everyone at the same time, as for as DJ's and radio stations are concerned, that's audience tune-out and that is a turn-off. Other than that, the first 7 tracks will chill you out and pump you up.
