No offence, Alan, but if I was a musician and I happened to meet you, I probably wouldn't ask for an explanation of a bad review unless there was a bit of a lull in the conversation; I'd probably be a lot more bummed out by your saying that you were relieved to have not run into me than by saying my tracks were poor. Anyway, I bought the Supercollider CD last week after a recommendation from a friend but I'm a bit disappointed with my first listen. I was sold on the tweaked r'n'b angle but the thing Iike about a lot of r'n'b is how obscenely clean and sweet the production is (the clips are nuts too), whereas this CD seems to be trying to marry r'n'b with a rougher warpish style. While on the topic, I have to admit to being a little disappointed also with some of the r'n'b styles on the last Model500 CD which were a bit flat. I did like the track with Rob Hood though (nice lyrics :) There's a little bit of that drum sound on that recent Larry Heard album Genesis which works well - mainly because the album a lot more low key (if that makes sense).
