Southern California's Kid 606 seems quite happy with his persona of iconoclast and audio terrorist but not so much so that he's going to get stuck doing the same thing for the rest of his life. P.S. I Love You is his deepest foray into the realm of melody to date, although he hasn't exactly gotten mellow. Untempted by the metronomic 4/4 grooves that often characterize even the most radically experimental techno, for the first five tracks Kid 606 prefers jagged syncopation and crackly digital textures. Track 5, "Sometimes," heads out for territory that could almost be called ambient--a beatless cloud of sound like a massive electronic Aeolian harp. Following that is the Porter Ricks-flavored "Now I Wanna Be Cowboy" and then it's back to the abstract extra crunchy style for "Sonqizzover," cognate in sound and nomenclature to "Sonqizzmaster" from the Clicks and Cuts compilation. His existing fans are certainly going to want to keep in step with this phase of his evolution, and those who consider much of his output the equivalent of having someone shout in your ear may be pleasantly surprised. -Bob Bannister

4.0 out of 5 stars super glitch, October 18, 2002

By	David M. Madden "nonnon/dj_webern" (salt lake, utah United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i love how every kid 606 release has a unique flavour: this is no exception. "P.S. I Love You" is in the vein of minimal, house style glitch; rife with ambience, pops and clicks so spacious one could drive a truck between them.

Very interesting in an experimental dance-floor kind of way, but not quite the in-yer-face-out-there, a-new-sound-a-second Kid 606 we are used to on releases like "GQ on the EQ" or "Down With the Scene".

It is definitely the alternative for people tired of good old Oakey and wish to hear actual craft and thought put into moving the crowd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Try this in headphones, February 7, 2002

By	ytersakita (Denmark) - See all my reviews

Best release by the kid. To begin with i liked 'Down With The Scene' better but this is internal sounds. Oh - the creapiest/scariest song ever - the last track on this cd, got me really scared, really. This piece should be listened to in headphones at least once

3.0 out of 5 stars Kid 606 grows up. Unfortunately., December 20, 2003

By	Pantytec is my god, it should be yours too (Tem) (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

This CD is a severe departure from the typical Kid606 sound I have grown accustomed to. Gone are the drill'n bass mash ups, mindbending computer glitches, and the irreverent sense of humor. In its place are the twitterings of any other "click-house" album. Not to say this is bad, it's just not that good either. "P.S." isn't exactly something new, I remember hearing it when it was Vladislav Delay, Andreas Tillander, or any of the Mille Plateaux roster. Disappointing.
