People complaining a lot about this album... Strangely i might have assumed this would be better for home listening, but seeing them live playing this material was extremely engaging.
I never felt nervous about a pre-order and I'm all for supporting cool musicians, but I have to admit that this song and Dead Heat aren't convincing me that the album's going to on the same level as their previous work...
I can't believe they've dropped the ball this badly....I'm INCREDIBLY UNIMPRESSED. Quarter Turns was a truly colossal achievement in electronic music. I'm all for artist's moving forward or even branching out sideways, but this seems 2 or even 3 steps back. I like the ideas sonically but structurally this is lacking all creativity. I'm truly sad to see one of the very best acts in recent history reduced to this. How the mighty have fallen....
You Could be right.....Clearly they are hugely talented, but after multiple listens I still can't help feel that these new tracks seem like highly polished unfinished "sketches or ideas". Maybe if they released it under Moin it would be easier to swallow. But these tracks don't seem to go anywhere particularly interesting, at least to my ears. BEB, Boomkat and others have commented on the production and it is superb. But I'd take a well conceived thought out track over a highly polished track like this every time. Maybe it's a good thing that Quarter Turns can't be easily replicated, even by them. It some how makes their older work that much more vital and necessary
This has grown on me massively.

Agreed. I'm hoping that they sound better as part of the album.
This one is more minimal and scarce. It definitely creates a mood, but it is a change from what initially drew me to them.
Haunting

I'm betting half the frequencies they are using in this track are invisible to pishy youTube compressions.
