    shadow's nonsense prancing with effects left me completely cold. the
    tachnical stuff may be clever but it's all for cleverness', not music's
    sake. monosyllabik lacks all funk, all warmth, all soul.

    what a shame that one of the most innovative and interesting figures in
    contemporary music goes to this "experimental"
    squarepusher-and-the-like-esque bullshit.
