I'm somewhat ambivalent on this electronic/ambient album with (light) guitars. On one hand, these guys have a clear ear for melody and instrumentation as evidenced by tracks like "Guilty Cubicles" and "Alive In '85". On the other hand, some tracks sound unbearably tame and just don't really do anything or go anywhere, like "Prison Province" and "Blues for Uncle Gibb". I've read that a couple of tracks on this album have been used by certain companies for TV commercials or for putting people on hold over the phone, and that says it well. I enjoy some of the psychedelic soundscapes, but want to fall asleep from boredom at other points. Not bad, though.
Favorite track: "Guilty Cubicles"
Least favorite track: "Prison Province"
