TheDude, Oct 07, 2001

Think of this CD as an entire night. Youve got Block Rockin Beats to get you hyped to go out, the lively Dig your own Hole leads into the truly pumping Electrobank, then the next four songs represent the pinnacle of the night. That portion when everyones out on the dance floor without a care in the world. Get Up On It Like This features some really trippy loops and distorted vocals, that time in the night(or early morning) when youre overwhelmed with sight and sounds and things just dont quite make sense. Once Lost in the K-Hole Again kicks in youre on your way home with a couple close friends then Where Do I Begin kicks in as you watch dawn come to light over the horizon. The Private Psychedelic Reel is the next few hours you desperately try to fall asleep. All in all a truly profound album, and one that i would recommend to newbies and purists alike.
