Awesome stuff man!

This might sound odd but I don't really like the beats and rhythms of track 1 and 2 all that much. Don't get me wrong here, they sound ok but are not that special. BUT, the breakdowns/interludes/voice samples make it up waiting for. So warm and atmospheric, the melodies and synths in the background next to the beats are sweet as well.

The arp in bad shallot sounds kinda Final Fantasy'ish, than the beat drops in and its just jaw breaking awesome.

This sounds brilliant! I personally think the beats etc. are great, the first track is just quality and the rest carries on the goodness. Great work!

i'm impressed with this, i'll be honest and say i wasn't entirely sure what to expect...my foot was continually tapping to the beats whilst my head drifted along with the melodies. or something like that...good work anyways! :)

Awesome stuff!!
I'm with Aesthetics on this one.. The beats are a bit to hard-core for me, and don't really match the music. But the synths are awesome!
Good work!

Thanks guys!

Yo Ae I know what you're saying man, I had no real framework in mind when I made those beats except that I wanted to depart from what I do with Boreal Network so they wound up surprising even me, although I like how they came out. Still, I know I'm no Autechre, beat structure has always been on the back burner in my music process. I almost wish I could use those flutey interludes in Boreal Network, haha...but there is more flutey BN interlude coming up on the next album.

I haven't heard this in a while, but I remember it kicking solid ass. I'd love to hear it again. I have the feeling Rodheh might have a copy lying around.

Oh wow. I forgot I was on there. That remix didn't age well at all and was made in a horrible time of my life. Got rather emotional listening to this again :(

Good work nikki, this ep really takes me back.
