Reviews & Discussion
Unlike much electronically produced music, this album has grown better with time, like a good cheese or wine. Despite the re-edits of two tracks (as mentioned above), "Westernization Completed" realises the very nature of the modern idea of becoming 'western': embracing the multiplicity of western life, dealing ideas of travel and immigration and the fall of Communism and (insanely quick) rise of Free-Market Capitalism (and following with that, Democracy). The off-kilter beats and 'e-poetry' both bring to the table this incredibly fractured quality of her new reality: an attempt to make sense of a public and private identiy gone awry.
