Reviews & Discussion
This is an absolutely great record, and probably the best introduction for beginners to ambient/intellegent techno along the lines of Autechre.
Highlights for me included Forcasa3 by Bola, which was incredibly soothing for an IDM track. My other personal favorite was the percussive electro-jazz of Freeform's "Refane", which can get you moving despite the unorthodox sounds he uses throughout the song.

(Side note: At bleep, Warp's download store, "Everything You Do Is a Balloon" is sold as an MP3 including these two hidden tracks, leading some to believe it's a rare, longer version of the BoC song.)
