The two best songs, by far, are 'Cut up piano and xylophone' and 'Tone guitar and drum noise' Some people consider the album more of an excursion into sound experimentation then an actual 'normal' musical album. While I can totally understand them saying that, this album still comes off on me as an amazing new little niche in the entirety of electonica music. It's use of glitch sounds and breathtaking soundscapes combined with crazy time signatures and abstract percussion is unsurpassed in my experience. Here's a perfect example, the song 'Tone guitar and drum noise':
Granted, it sound much more dynamic and amazing on a proper system, but the Photofact 412 gets the job done. Looks good doin it too!
