yup. there's some great stuff, but overall it's a bit too much

and it isn't titled Pubic Cube (in Space): Book I of IV ;_;
Just got this from emusic... Halfway through it and I think it might be pretty great. The first few songs just kinda floated by, but ten tracks in I'm completely on board. "Love Czars" is awesome.

I think "He Say She Say" is my early favorite

Even though most of the new album doesn't really do it for me, even after repeated listens, I can't get enough of "He Say She Say" -- it is absolutely, deliriously magnificent.

listening to that shafiq album. these guys are so pastichey. almost everything they do sounds slightly deriviative. and i get the feeling its almost deliberate, their way of tipping their hat. but it just sounds slightly drab or like a damp squib. so mish mashy. plus their vocals are really shit and flat. this album should be on ninja tune.

actually the main prob with this album is that surprisingly it seems overproduced. and then theres something about the production thats almost too slick and perfected, with all the grit and rough edges sanded off.

lil girl is the standout. this could be a good ep.

Is this where we talk about how awesome the solo Om’mas Keith album City Pulse is cause it’s one of my favourites.

extremely OTM

Weird how their career went. I thought they were going to be more popular as a group, not just producers for other artists, and often with a sound more subdued than those early songs like rosebud, white, Hollywood, etc
