The Other People Place – Lifestyles Of The Laptop Café

Is the beat the same in all the tracks? lol

2001, Warp. Masterpiece. This sound still echoes on so many records since.

I found the album the equivalent of being asked if you want a coffee..........& it’s decaf...

what is up with the two reviews in a row calling this dull lmao

Dull, dour, repetitive, not very well produced. One of few records I actually get annoyed listening back to. Except the sleeve artwork, not much to get excited about.

I remember buying this when it came out and found it incredibly.....well, dull. It is well produced, very nice sounds, nothing to complain about there, except it just plods and plods and plods. It is safe and unadventurous to the point of boredom.

It is betwixt and between, in that you couldn't really play it at a party, but it is not really deep or interesting enough to serve as good home listening either.

Let me be is the exception. Finally a track gets a rocket up its jacksie and a bit of a move on. The rest is bland and forgettable.

Any chance there's a repress coming? Seems like the 2017 repress has a lot of issues, judging from the reviews here.

Bought the repress and was super disappointed, so took the plunge with an original copy and was delighted to find it sounds exactly as it should: punchy, fat and spacious, where the repress is flat, thin and squashed.

This record is still available new on bleep.com for £19

let me be is so amazing . . . .
