Its a shame that Michael Fakesch and Chris De Luca have disbanded after seemingly reaching a peak with their Disconnected album. As has already been said some will dislike this album for its vocal content, but what this album exudes is a more commercial sensibility. For me, the duo sold out to some degree in making this album more mainstream. The more uplifting cut-up hip hop style of Chopping heads and Fat Camp Feva, for me, stand out among the sombre and in places somewhat depressing melancholic vocal tracks. Incidentally, The Zoo has been used to accompany Channel 4 (tv station) logo sequences.
