3 tracks are noteworthy here. First of all, "extra" is an innovation by fusing clubland with idm. Powdery, lo-quality samples are uncommon on dj decks, and idm usually begins to fall prey to breakbeats when the pace is too much. Dave Angel shoves Ishii back to pure clubland with Overlap, and Angel-izing a track is never a wrong turn. BBS energize Echo Exit with their live instrumentation that sounds like a jazz units headbanger ball. All the in betweens are mere in-betweens, due to Ishiis curiosity for abstract musical theories.
