The b-side is so good it makes other records cry.
Deep heady elektro from the future, that makes everyone move their body, and realize that life is a song worth singing. Even that song is sung through a myriad of effexors, and slammed with 808 kicks. The kick drums on "Hold" get 'em wet. 
I have pretty mixed feelings about Autechre, and not smooth I-F mixing quality feelings, lately it feels like they are just DSP wankers, faking the funk, however this a great showcase of fat-ass robot beats that will give you mindgasmic pleasures from centuries so far ahead they are already behind.
Track number 5 sounds like every Apparat track ever. Not bad at all. 
This is great crossover concept, and for the most part sounds sweet. The only track that didn't really do much was Legowelt's rendition of "Run to the Hills" which is one of THE Maiden tracks, but unfortunately is just semi-loopy techno. Maxx Klaxon's cabaret-esque cover of "Die With Your Boots On" gets girls to take out the trash, and rub it all over their precious bodies. That's how awesome it is.
It's also cool that Maiden like this album, and really I hope this kind of open-mindedness towards music continues. Because Maiden-kids+Electro-kinder= party central. | ||||
If they like it, then they are alright.
If not... well... time to get some new friends.
Seriously enjoyable.
Covers a wide gamut of styles, for dancing, rocking out, and crying yourself to sleep while clutching your blaster rifle a cross your chest just in case those space invaders wanna raid your stash.
My favorite track varies everytime I listen to it, but Energy Vampire has a wonderfully paranoid breakdance feeling to it.
