Have you read the subsequent posts mate? A lot of people - including me - think the B side is the part that 'makes' the EP, and don't care much for the A track.
Dunno if that's what *you* mean. But that qualifies things somewhat. As for the A side, I just don't hear 'emotion' or 'soul' there at all. I hear digital, tinny and rather silly sounds [in fact]. OK, there's no harm in being light-hearted. But then it's a bit of a stretch to expect such superficiality of tone to be in any shape or form transporting. The track does nowt for me. Musical perception is subjective - that goes without saying. I am surprised you like it so much though. [If indeed you are meaning side A and not side B]. kEN -----Original Message----- From: Robert Taylor [mailto:rdtay...@channel4.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2010 1:27 PM To: Odeluga, Ken; 313@hyperreal.org Subject: RE: (313) was DEMF prediction, now Oni Ayunn Can you please explain then?

What does that even mean?

If no one else will claim it's good I will! It's a perfect summation of The Knife gone Techno, I think it's absolutely beautiful and where you could get "run-of-the-mill 'minimal'" out of it Ken, I don't know ... did you forget to listen to side B? ;) OAR003-B reminds me of a warm sunny day, you know, kinda like what you've had in London today :) - Greg ######################################################################## ############# Note: Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
