"I am not sure where the guy above got his sense of rhythm and flow, because this album is anything like what he describes. In my opinion most of the music here is quite unsophisticated. Some of the vocals are decent but layered on top of unimaginative, repetitive, stiff loops; no sense of flow and harmony. He is right though when he points out this is not danceable music, it's not danceable nor enjoyable!
To be fair, disc number one has some exceptions to the amateurish, non- depurated, crank-it-as-soon-as-possible, mass made cacophony of disk two. From barely passable to annoying as hell, mostly closer to the latter. Tons of better stuff out there to choose from if you are into mature, sensual, tasty world electronica.
