This is the second release from this Sheffield, U.K., duo, who practice a decidedly mechanical, minimalist brand of techno. The music here is closer to the aural equivalent of an algorithm in action than what most people might think of as composed music. The sounds are principally one- or two-note keyboard hits and metronomic rhythms that are sometimes little more than a clicking sound. Track 7 is about as busy as it gets with two chords, a four-note melody, three percussion sounds and an extra note or two shimmering faintly in the background. The whole CD has a lot of fascinating microdetail, and it works very well as ambient or environmental music--for a little over an hour, you can walk in and out of the room, answer the phone or take a shower, and it'll still be there when you return, humming pleasantly to itself. --Bob Bannister

4 out of 5 stars interesting new direction..........2000-12-18

simply put, this is an ambient version of "cassette".. but that is a good thing, because SND are positioning themselves slightly towards a larger audience by making their sound a little (just a little!) more friendly and less monotonous. Imagine "cassette" with almost no kick drums, some pads (!) and some trace melodies. The second half is just fantastic. If you put that together with the best tracks of "cassette", then you would have one hell of an album.

its worth checking out if their last album caught your ear..
