Nice attempt at varying styles, but honestly it doesn't work. The first four tracks - and to a lesser extent, the whole of the record - are so incoherent and have so many random sound samples and out of place textures - really odd ones in places - that I genuinely looked to see if I didn't have a tab playing some sound in the background over the music. But no I didn't, the music is just like that. Track 8 is a nice example of trying to overlay drone/ambient stuff over a beat and failing at it. While the concept sounds great, the execution does not live up to it at all. The closing track is quite nice ambient, but that's about the only thing I kinda dug on this. 2.2
