Really good minimal EP I enjoyed all of the tracks with Richie being the weakest and Cowboys being the best imo. I don't own a hard copy of this EP and I'm curious as to whether or not Paolo credited Ball & Almond of Soft Cell for the Cowboys track. Margot meets The Melody Maker - Torch uses the same samples and credited them but here it gives sole claim to Dusty Kid aka Paolo Alberto Lodde.

This could have been a good song but the middle of the track is terrible. The line about the "Sounds of the studio game" into what I guess they thought was some cool stabs (they recommend putting on headphones and cranking it up) ruined it for me. It just sounds obnoxious. I'd like to see an edit without the middle section. Hot Chip is generally creative but they missed the mark with this one.

Energy Reflect is a nice little track with energy good for the dance floor, don't know that I'd ever spin it though. Seabird is the gem here to me. This is one will take you away. Awesome vocal or instrument that sounds a lot like a vocal. You can't really tell!
