Despite this not being packed in the great Earsay envelopes, its a great record. Refinement isnt a word I like to use when trying to describe electronic music, but this is a sweet and delicate and melodic and carefully crafted refined electronic album. Think Oval with much of the annoying rhythm virtuosity left behind and the pop sense of melody emphasised, or (for you, underground fans) Dave Handford cooled down by a drink of chestnut syrup and fresh milk (this is delicious, believe me). These guys did sort of a MIDI remix of Tchaikovskis major works (something I was prepared to hate, slag off & throw away), released on the same label and its as great as this one is. Being ambitious and not appropriately talented makes you a boring fart, while being ambitious & appropriately talented can make you close to genius. Much respect to Grundik+Slava.
