Proem - Socially Inept Review by scoundrel Jun 06, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
Simple beauty, simply done well. Proem's SOCIALLY INEPT starts off with the haunting "I Don't Know How to Tell," merging crispy beats over a melody that grows in clarity. "Invisible for All" has a iciness that chills even as the digital percussion skitters its way through. The initial harshness of "Pinching Point" gives way to funky electronics, and "Place Gun to Head" has a stately, eerie grace. The processed vocals on "When Frailty Fails" add a melancholy texture, and “Da.Vironment” accelerates the tempo somewhat. “Carpark Kittens” sets the beats a-thumpin’ and ends on a strangely psychotic note, while “Deep Like an Airplane Failure” introduces a gentle guitar line to accompany the clicking beneath. And the title track, closing out the album, veers into symphonic grandeur.

Proem - Socially Inept Review by Taskmaster Dec 26, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Probably Proem's strongest album. 14 solid tracks of IDM beats. This album seems to focus more on melody then previous efforts. There are even some lyrics to hear on this one. I'm not sure if they are samples from movies or Bailey himself distorting his voice though. This album popular enough to get a vinyl release later on, which contained 5 of the stronger tracks on here. This album is limited to only 2000 copies so it may be becoming hard to find.
