Disadvantages: Over reliance on noise and poor production

Strange with the release of 60 second Wipeout, ATR released their most uncommerical release to date, but at the same time receiving a high amount of press coverage. Then again nothing is straightforward in the world of Alec Empire and cohorts. Burn, Berlin, Burn and The Future of War were both excellent albums combining the power of hardcore punk and the tearaway breakbeats of the darkest drum and bass. ATR had developed a unique sound, uncompromising ...
...majority of tracks. Listening to 60 second Wipeout in the main is a fairly unsettling experience not helped by poor production on the majority of tracks. Knowing the "no sell-out " attitude of Alec Empire, this is probably a deliberate move against the increased coverage ATR and Digital Hardcore are receiving. Even though Empire seems to be sabotaging his previous works with the production on the album there are still moments amongst the noise where ... Read review

...corresponds to the uptempo. Dial 'M' for Monkey makes use of looped jazz riffs and simple yet mesmerizing basslines, always letting the consumer retain more with each listen. In fact, Bonobo is best appreciated in its subtlety and "little" sounds. It's easy to listen to, as it has the tendency to migrate to the back of the mind, but it also has a lot of depth for those who are willing to pay close attention. Every single track is high quality, ... Read review

Advantages: nostalgia, vocals, composition
Disadvantages: nothing to do with previous album

When Multiply was released I believe something must have exploded supernova-like in outer space due to some cause and effect phenomena. This was my first experience listening to Jamie Lidell, though I had seen his name on the Warp website for sometime. I tried to listen to his other albums afterwards, but to be honest, I was quite disappointed! Here Jamie has shook the ground with an attempt to recreate the early funk soul groove of the 70's and ...
