face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">the results are varied and to be honest after a few  listens i am still trying to figure out if i like it, though today i am  definitely erring on the side of total addiction.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">the main problem for me are the jazz styled  keyboard riffs and improvised melodies, <\/FONT><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">yet for  all my usual animosity towards self indulgent improvised jazz-fests, i cannot  deny, there is something about these extended workouts draws me back over and  over again. <\/FONT><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">the best parts, the throb of <EM>pbd,  <\/EM>the acidic bleeps of <EM>dump truck,&nbsp;<\/EM>the sheer  <STRONG>orbital<\/STRONG> styled thrust of <EM>india in me<\/EM>, have a certain  warm dancefloor pulse that often harks back to the glorious <EM>peter ford<\/EM>  led&nbsp;<EM>ifach<\/EM> record label output with the shared love for old school  chicago house and stripped back technology made music coming to the  fore.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">here there are no big fat digital excess in the  sonic trickery, no excessive studio overdubs, instead the production mainly  consists of just a thin clicky drum machine, a simple underlying bass line  supplemented by either a simple bleep styled jittery loop, or an  improvised&nbsp;jazz riff over the top to keep the flow moving.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">when these elements all click the results can be  very engaging. however, as mentioned, there has to be a certain patience  involved on the listeners part as most of these tracks extend well beyond the 6  or 7 minute mark and take some digesting before the penny drops.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">as a bonus, they have dropped a 45 minute live set,  <EM>live at mondo,<\/EM>&nbsp;onto the second disc, which starts off all jazzy  and somewhat dry, but gradually builds up to become an absolute killer proving  that the lads can obviously knock this stuff out in the live world to stunning  effect.<\/FONT><\/DIV> <DIV><FONT face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\">so, if you read any of <A
