    An 'eclectic mix' I think. Some tracks with infectious rhythms, some simple melodies and ambient atmospheres, the usual clarity of production and instrumentation. The spoken words occasionally grate, but are, on the whole, wonderfully playful and with a range of deliveries from the theatrical (one sounding like Judy Dench) to the processed (Kraftwerk might have produced it) there is plentyAn 'eclectic mix' I think.

    In louder and busier sections it's easy to lose the text and there's no melody as consolation. [Aug. 2011, p. 94]

    Everything is warm and accessible, occasionally too much so. [Jul 2011, p.48]
